history

France Télévisions was founded on September 7, 1992 by Hervé Bourges from the two public broadcasters, Antenne 2 (later France 2 ) and FR3 (later France 3 ). France 2 is one of the two main French programs alongside TF1, which was formerly also under public law but has been privatized since 1987 . France 3 is a republic-wide broadcast full program, which is characterized above all by regional and local breakdowns in the context of the lunch and evening information routes (the former name FR 3 stood for France Régions 3 ), and for France takes on the role of the German third programs or . of the Italian Rai 3 .

France 5 (formerly La Cinquième ) has been part of France Télévisions as the third broadcaster since August 2, 2000 .
