Euronews is a multilingual and pan-European television news channel. It covers world news from a European perspective  in eight languages; English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Arabic.

In 2008 Euronews is distributed to 248 million households in 135 countries worldwide. The latest distribution report shows that Euronews is the leading international news channel in Europe. It reached more than 177 million European households by cable, satellite and terrestrial. This compared with 167 million European households for CNN International, 124 million for BBC World News and 65 million for CNBC Europe.[2][3]

Headlines from both Europe as well as the world are broadcast at 30 minute intervals. Brief magazine articles typically fill in the remaining schedule, which focus on market data, financial news, sports news, art & culture, science, weather, European politics and press reviews of the major European newspapers. These item slots will occasionally be displaced for breaking news or live coverages.
