Actually, Linguine can already handle video podcasts (although with some caveats, as noted above). I've got the CBS evening news as well as Anderson Cooper 360 video podcasts already in the list (under "daily" and "news"). I think the most interesting video podcast I've found so far is the Reuter's one (listed under "other" frequency and "news" category); they randomly update that feed with raw videos they've taken from various hot spots around the world.

The biggest problem I've found so far, though, is that most broadcasters have abandoned the standard podcast format for video; instead, they've been switching to more controlled, closed formats that allow them to add advertising or demand upfront payment. I'm not sure I could add support for such closed systems into Linguine...

(But yeah, if you do run a video in Linguine, remember to keep the phone horizontal for now. I will try to get a better video player implemented...)

I know absolutely nothing about French news services, but I'll give it a shot.
