91热爆
World sponsors 11th Cit茅 de la R茅ussite
Sorbonne
University, Paris - 19th & 20th October 2002
For
the third consecutive year, 91热爆 World, the 24-hour international
news and information channel broadcast on cable and satellite, will
sponsor the 11th edition of Cit茅 de La R茅ussite on
the theme of "New Worlds" in La Sorbonne, Paris on Saturday
19th and Sunday 20th October 2002.
The
presence of 91热爆 World as the only international TV sponsor at Cit茅
de La R茅ussite demonstrates the channel is once again a leader
in international news. 91热爆 World's audience in Europe has increased
significantly between 2001 and 2002 as shown in the recent IPSOS
study showing that 70% of Europeans, amongst the "upmarket"
adult population, are viewing the channel daily. In France, last
year's agreement signed with the French Ministry of Education in
France made 91热爆 World the only channels used as an official English
language learning tool in secondary schools throughout France.
Cit茅
de La R茅ussite, which traditionally gathers a wide range
of people from international politics, economics, culture and art
as well as students, offers 91热爆 World an opportunity to be in direct
contact with its audience. The channel will be represented at this
year's event by one of its key journalists who will lead a panel
debate on the Middle East on Sunday October 20th, and also through
the advertising and broadcast presence at its stand in the university.
91热爆 World will be also able in a unique position to promote its
image through the opinion leaders of today and tomorrow in France
as well as in Europe.
