==History== ===Timeline=== ====Background==== {{Further|European Broadcasting Union}} In 1992, following the Persian Gulf War, during which CNN's position as the preeminent source of 24-hour news programming was cemented, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) proposed a channel to present information from a counterpart European perspective.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Euronews v.

==== Launch, geographic and linguistic expansion (1993–2015) ==== The inaugural Euronews broadcast was on 1 January 1993 from Écully, Lyon. In 1996, an additional broadcast studio was set up in London.
In late 1997, the British news broadcaster ITN purchased a 49% share of Euronews for £5.1 million from Alcatel-Lucent.<ref>{{cite news|title=ITN Acquires 49% Euronews Stake|date=1 December 1997|url=https://www.telecompaper.com/news/itn-acquires-49-euronews-stake--124079|work=Telecom Paper|access-date=5 June 2012|archive-date=14 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114004542/https://www.telecompaper.com/news/itn-acquires-49-euronews-stake--124079|url-status=live}}</ref> ITN supplied the content of the channel along with the remaining shareholders.
A part-time Arabic-language service was briefly operated from April 1997, with a two-year grant from the European Commission, comprising eight journalists and freelancers. After the tender expired, it ceased broadcasting on 15 April 1999.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Plisson |first=Alain |date=1999-04-19 |title=Antennes et paraboles Euronews arrête son service en arabe |trans-title=Antennas and satellite dishes - Euronews stops its service in Arabic |work=L'Orient-Le Jour |url=https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/317389/Antennes_et_paraboles_Euronews_arrete_son_service_en_arabe.html |url-status=live |access-date=2023-12-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231218223902/https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/317389/Antennes_et_paraboles_Euronews_arrete_son_service_en_arabe.html |archive-date=2023-12-18}}</ref>
In 1999, the broadcast switched from solely analogue to mainly digital transmission. The same year, a Portuguese audio track was added.
In 2001, the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) acquired a 1.8% stake in SOCEMIE. A Russian-language service was launched later in the year.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2001-10-02 |title=Euronews начал вещание в России |trans-title=Euronews started broadcasting in Russia |url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/923907 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306022120/http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/923907 |archive-date=2016-03-06 |access-date=2023-08-09 |website=Kommersant |language=ru}}</ref>

==== NBC partnership (2016–2022) ==== {{Recentism|section|date=July 2023}} In November 2016, the channel's executive board was in talks with NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, for a "strategic partnership". NBCU would acquire 15 to 30% ownership of the Euronews network, would contribute to Euronews content, and facilitate NBC News' expanded operations in Europe.<ref>{{cite news|title=NBC News, Euronews in Talks for Strategic Partnership|date=11 November 2016|url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/global/nbc-news-euronews-talks-strategic-partnership-1201915855/|work=Variety Media|access-date=11 November 2016|archive-date=12 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161112081657/http://variety.com/2016/tv/global/nbc-news-euronews-talks-strategic-partnership-1201915855/|url-status=live}}</ref> After successful negotiations with the European Commission, who feared that the partnership would result in an "Americanization" of Euronews, the NBCUniversal News Group finalised its purchase of a 25% stake in Euronews in February 2017 for €25 million ($30 million). NBC News president Deborah Turness was appointed to head up international operations, and incumbent Euronews CEO Michael Peters, who had led it since 2004, became CEO of the new partnership. Both reported directly to NBC News chairman Andrew Lack.

Although Naguib Sawiris and NBC News had the largest stakes in Euronews, editorial control by SOCEMIE members was assured, with the broadcasters having seven slots in the editorial board, as opposed to Sawiris' company (which has three slots) and NBC News, which only has one, thereby reducing rumors of an "Americanization" of Euronews' values. Editorial control is fully handled by Euronews' teams, with NBC only focusing on planning and coordinating tasks.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-eco/2017/05/31/97002-20170531FILWWW00300-euronews-le-rapprochement-avec-nbc-finalise.php|title=Euronews: le rapprochement avec NBC finalisé (in French)|date=31 May 2017|work=Le Figaro|access-date=9 November 2020|archive-date=10 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201110040034/https://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-eco/2017/05/31/97002-20170531FILWWW00300-euronews-le-rapprochement-avec-nbc-finalise.php|url-status=live}}</ref> After the formation of the partnership, video reports from NBC News' properties and correspondents began to appear frequently on the TV channel and reports from NBCNews.com began to be distributed on its digital platforms.
On 9 May 2017, Euronews began a process of splitting its services into twelve separate editions for each language, of which nine have a linear TV channel retaining their respective voiceover, but now including the on-screen ticker and most lower thirds in the local language.

The roll-out began on 22 May, when Euronews debuted the first of these new shows, ''Good Morning Europe'', a five-hour morning show which airs every weekday morning from 7 am. It was first anchored by former RT correspondent and TVB Pearl news presenter Tesa Arcilla, who anchored it on a temporary basis. Some weeks later, former France 24 presenter Belle Donati began presenting the show, alternating with Arcilla; after she moved to Brussels in September, she became the main anchor of the slot. Two months later, on 17 July, Euronews debuted a six-hour breaking news show, ''Euronews Now'', anchored by Tokunbo Salako, covering the dayside and afternoon slots. On 3 September, the new evening program lineup was launched, starting with a politics-focused show, ''Raw Politics'', hosted from Brussels by Tesa Arcilla, and featuring former Sky News reporter Darren McCaffrey. It also spawned a weekly spin-off, ''Raw Politics: Your Call'', a phone-in show which featured European Parliament members answering viewers' questions by phone or social media. The show was dropped over a year later, in October 2019, due to low viewership, with its content being integrated into the rolling news programming. Two weeks after the launch of ''Raw Politics'', on 17 September, the full roll-out was completed with the introduction of a 5-hour evening rolling news show, ''Euronews Tonight'', initially presented by former Sky News and BBC News presenter Sam Naz, and later by Euronews veteran Isabelle Kumar, who has worked with the channel since 2003.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2018/08/09/inside-euronews-nbc-fresh-rolling-news-channel-striving-help-save-united-europe|title=Inside Euronews NBC: a fresh rolling news channel striving to help save united Europe|last=Burrell|first=Ian|date=9 August 2018|work=The Drum|access-date=25 August 2018|archive-date=26 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826005154/https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2018/08/09/inside-euronews-nbc-fresh-rolling-news-channel-striving-help-save-united-europe|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Isabelle Kumar|url=https://www.wise-qatar.org/biography/isabelle-kumar/|access-date=2020-11-14|website=WISE|language=en-US|archive-date=20 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210120141056/https://www.wise-qatar.org/biography/isabelle-kumar/|url-status=live}}</ref> The traditional pre-produced blocks of video content still remained on some late-nights and weekends. Most overnights by this point repeated the previous day's edition (either full or half-length) of ''Euronews Now''.
New weekly programming was also produced, including the weekly interview series ''Uncut'', which feature conversations from political leaders and newsmakers worldwide with minimum to no editing. The first episodes featured Franco-German politician Daniel Cohn-Bendit interviewing former UKIP leader Nigel Farage and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair about Brexit. Additionally, a new social media unit was created, with journalists with a background on digital news verification leading it. The newly created team helped to produce ''The Cube'', a social media segment during rolling news shows, focusing on analysis on treatment and reactions about news headlines on social media, with special attention at the major stories of the day. ''No Comment'', a long-standing element of Euronews' programming, remains on the channels' schedule, and it was gradually integrated into the rolling news shows on the English-language channel.<ref name=":2" />
Additionally, a major investment in mobile reporting via iPhone devices helped Euronews gain a major scoop, becoming the only TV news outlet worldwide to broadcast live coverage from the MV ''Aquarius'', with Paris correspondent Annelise Borges (formerly with France 24) on assignment. Borges broadcast live for 10 days as the Italian government denied the Aquarius access to Italian ports. The coverage made headlines on many news outlets worldwide and helped Euronews augment its credibility and its audience.<ref name=":2" /> The new Euronews also hired new correspondents in London, Berlin, Moscow, Rome, Madrid and Washington D.C., and gained access to NBC News' large network of correspondents worldwide.
As of September 2018, the other language editions were unaffected, with the pre-produced blocks of video content remaining at all times. Programming dayparts were later named with proper translations of the existing daypart programming of the World edition (i.e. the evening daypart being named ''Euronews am Abend'', ''Euronews Noite'', ''Euronews Soir''...). There were plans to introduce presenter-led programming during the morning slots on these other channels, eventually, the evening daypart in most of the language-specific channels became presenter-led by late 2018; all of these editions were pre-recorded and pre-produced before broadcast, and eventually looped through the night.<ref name=":1" />
By 2019, several of the newly-launched anchored programmes, including ''Raw Politics'', had been cancelled, and the network began facing a liquidity crisis, with its estimated value having fallen to €3.7 million from its previous worth of €67 million in 2015, according to the French magazine ''Capital''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Henni |first=Jamal |date=2021-02-17 |title=La descente aux enfers d'Euronews, en pleine crise financière |trans-title=Euronews' descent into hell in the midst of a financial crisis |url=https://www.capital.fr/entreprises-marches/la-descente-aux-enfers-deuronews-en-pleine-crise-financiere-1394284 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240529093845/https://www.capital.fr/entreprises-marches/la-descente-aux-enfers-deuronews-en-pleine-crise-financiere-1394284 |archive-date=2024-05-29 |access-date=2025-01-06 |work=Capital |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref name=":14" /> On 20 April 2020, it was reported that NBCUniversal had sold its stake in Euronews to Media Globe Networks for €3 million, giving the latter an overall majority share of 88%.

==== Post-NBC, Alpac Capital ownership, relocation to Brussels (2022–present) ==== In November 2020, French newspaper ''Libération'' stated in an online article that Euronews had been producing an increasing amount of magazine content focusing on Dubai, and sponsored by the Dubai tourism board, which had allegedly caused staff discontent.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last1=Coquaz |first1=Vincent |last2=Andraca |first2=Robin |date=2020-11-29 |title=Euronews : la chaîne européenne devenue vitrine de Dubaï |url=https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/2020/11/29/euronews-la-chaine-europeenne-devenue-vitrine-de-dubai_1806690/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230321165023/https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/2020/11/29/euronews-la-chaine-europeenne-devenue-vitrine-de-dubai_1806690/ |archive-date=2023-03-21 |access-date=2023-07-29 |website=Libération |language=fr}}</ref> Segments dedicated to Dubai were found to only have a brief sentence in small print indicating their sponsorship, which a Euronews spokesperson argued met French broadcast standards, rather than using the logo of the relevant institution as with other sponsored content.<ref name=":4" /> The article noted that this was likely a result of continued private divestment leading to influence from the International Media Investments (IMI) corporation, owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the ruling royal family of Abu Dhabi, which "discreetly" became a shareholder in 2017 and then signed a memorandum with Euronews the following year.<ref name=":4" /> The network would later conduct similar partnerships with Media City Qatar and the Saudi Tourism Authority, both state-owned, to produce relevant sponsored segments.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-11-24 |title=Chez Euronews, les motifs d'inquiétude se multiplient au sein de la rédaction |language=fr |work=Le Monde |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2022/11/24/chez-euronews-les-motifs-d-inquietude-se-multiplient-au-sein-de-la-redaction_6151463_3234.html |url-status=live |access-date=2023-07-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230401053038/https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2022/11/24/chez-euronews-les-motifs-d-inquietude-se-multiplient-au-sein-de-la-redaction_6151463_3234.html |archive-date=2023-04-01}}</ref>

According to Ágnes Urbán, director of the think tank Mertek Media Monitor, Euronews risked being exploited as a "pseudo-independent" media outpost of the government of Hungary, where it maintains a semblance of independence, but takes a "far less critical" stance with regard to Hungary and other so-called illiberal democracies.

===Former radio service=== On 2 October 2012, Euronews launched Euronews Radio. The service was available for download on the App Store and Google Play, in addition to being available on TuneIn, and was designed for viewers for whom "watching news is not an option" by providing a direct simulcast to the TV channel. To account for the radio format, "No Comment" segments were replaced by music and weather reports were read by a female announcer.{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}} The service was shut down in 2020.<ref name=":14" />
