talk shows, broadcasts, magazines or even documentaries will mark out a grid of
original content and full of solutions for all People.

A multicultural positioning:
TVMonaco also intends to establish a multicultural positioning specific to life in the Principality.
through an announcer who is, to say the least, a one of its kind, „Monacoco“, a feathered avatar who
will travel across the globe and comment, with humor – but always seriously – on the weather conditions in the
whole world. A desire, for TVMonaco, to address to the more than 130 nationalities residing on
the Monegasque territory.
An internationalization which also results in membership of the TV5MONDE network, allowing
the channel to promote the Principality and the French Riviera throughout the world, in particular through the co-broadcast of its television news as well as numerous new programs.
