Hello,

The Monaco Channel is the last hi-tech change we been looking for, and its rising with a fast popularity.

Is a testament to its commitment to quality in royal newsgathering, from responsible media journalism. The channel and the website belong to a initiative of the Gov. of Monaco who diserve a lot of applauses.

Apart from breaking news of the activite of the Monaco Gov., and royal lifestyle advice, they are so endeavour to showcase well-written features, and activitis on a wide range; who goes from the Automobile Club of Monaco, the Oceanographic Museum, the Yacht Club, the Tourism, and of course the Foundation of Prince Albert II.
(UPS ... sorry I forgot to tell the football club)

The permanent broadcasting of our favorite royal news channel all over the world for free covering with movies, photos, lifestyle and more ... for free ... and live, is a source of pride for Monaco citizen, or residents; which, unfortunately as a French women, and Parisian, I dont have the same transparency from the Élisée.

I think (and I might not be the only one) the MonacoChannel.MC should have one thread here in the forum itself. So here is a humble request to the administrators.

My sincere congratulations for the MC Channel.

Yes I agree the MC channel is a wonderful source of video footage/news etc. You can start a thread yourself but I'm not sure what you would include as the topics would most likely be in threads of their own if you get what I mean.

That's correct, Elly C - an extra thread wouldn't make much sense, it's vastly better and enriching
when the individual event reporting gets illustrated with videos

I didn't really know where to post this, so feel free to move it to a more proper place if this isn't right.

An interesting piece about Monaco and Albert that appeared today in El País.

Sounds like an article of envy. I don't know about the private companies, but everything I have read says that the SBM hasn't laid off anyone; even though they have been operating at a loss the last two years. The English often write these whining articles, also. Instead of worrying about Monaco, they should be looking for ways to improve their own countries.

I doubt it. I have no info at all myself and I dont't know anything at all about the SBM.
But El Pais is a very serious newspaper. It's not as if this was a glossy magazine or a tabloid. They never publish an info that's not been sufficiently checked.

Edit: I've just re-read the piece and it doesn't say anything about the SBM having laid off anyone. Maybe there is something that google mistranslated?

It does say that the SBM pays minimun wages to its employees according to french law and also that the crisis has touched Monaco and there is some unemployment in the country now, but nothing about the SBM having laid off anyone.

[FanofMonaco]

No unemployment among the Monegasques. It is not really Monaco's job to keep the
French and Italians employed. It is to their credit that they have given thousands of French and Italians jobs. Especially for such a small country.

I don't think that newspaper was attacking them about that.
The piece simply states that due to the crisis the luxury business are having problems in monaco as everywhere else and some of the people who used to work for these companies are currently unemployed.
