The channels cater to an international audience, with programs containing French s. There are also news programs featuring French-language reporters. These programs provide both Chinese and international news coverage.

Most programs on CCTV-F are 30 minutes long. They feature a variety of content, including news programs, educational programs, and Chinese soap operas.

There are also programs offering tourism advice and showcasing new Chinese artists.

CCTV-F signed on October 1, 2007, replacing the bi-lingual / French language CCTV E&F channel, three years after signing on on October 1, 2004.

CCTV-F is seen as an attempt to project Chinese influence into Africa, where many countries speak French, rather than to advance onto an international stage.
