france24- france's version of the bcc/cnn/russia today/alzajeera int.
It's gonna give 24 hour news in english from december 8th, and is already broadcasting test signals on hotbird(13E), astra(19E),badr(26E) and atlantic bird 3(5W). transponder info here:

It will be run by a partnership between the TF1 Group and France Télévisions (although some of the programmes will be sourced from AFP, Radio France Internationale, TV5, Arte, EuroNews, and La Chaîne parlementaire).

hopefully it will remain fta or with an easy encryption like cnn, in the unlikely case of it barricading itself in TPScrypt or any other 'difficult' crypt - though If I understand correctly it's only used by teleparis, it will be the only international news agency to do so and it'l be at a disadvantage. Since it's mostly owned by the french government and it's aim is to 'present frances views to the world' I doubt that will be the case.
