Limitations:
The TV news provided are the latest provided on the websites of the chosen channels.
The channels can change their websites' structure at any time, effectively disabling the corresponding features of FrenchTVNews. Please notify the author when a channel or a program does not work anymore.
The RTBF says [my translation] : "Note : For legal reasons, you cannot access the Journal T?l?vis? [=TV News] broadcast if you are outside the Belgian territory." Their broadcast server filters the IP addresses of users not located in Belgium. As I don't live in Belgium, this channel is unsupported from now.

Added BFM TV (live stream)
Added LCI: 12h50 news, Politique : L'Edito de Pierre-Luc S?guillon, La Chronique d'Olivier Jay, Auto-Info, Plein ?cran 2.0, "Vous avez un message", Les coulisses LCI, Les coulisses de "?a donne Envie", and the weather forecast (also available as videocasts at this url.)
