France 2 has unveiled a state-of-the-art extranet tool, called "webdo", which will allow journalists to have access to schedules and to search for programming details. 

"This advanced interactive tool - under development for more than a year - uses a database fed automatically with programming details."
Béatrice Andurand, Head of Communications

Weekly schedules will become available to journalists on Tuesday already instead of Thursday which has been the case up to now for the paper version. This interactive tool, which will also include a powerful search engine, will give journalists access to full programming as well as contact details.

By next June, "webdo" will permit journalists to consult entire press packs as well as press releases and to download photos to illustrate TV magazines.

The database will also be used by the service dealing with queries from viewers.
