GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French term or phrase: Directeur de l'Information et de l'Antenne
From an interview with said Director:

"A quelques semaines du lancement des programmes en langue arabe, X a interviewé Y, directeur de l'Information et de l'Antenne de cette chaîne internationale basée à Z."

I have "Director of News Programming" but I'm not sure that that covers the "Antenne" bit. Then again, if we know we are talking about a television network, isn't "antenne" just redundant?

thanks,

Director of News Programming
Explanation:
You're right on both counts. Director of News Programming or News Director will cover it. "Antenne" is largely superfluous, but can also be interpreted as Station Director, in which case, News and Station Director would work.

Since you've already got "international channel" later in the sentence, I would probably leave our station director.
