history

In 1935, in Paris, Radio PTT Vision , the French state broadcaster, began operations with the first test television broadcasts.

With the beginning of the Second World War , broadcasting ceased in 1939. The German occupiers resumed broadcasting with the Paris TV station in 1942 with parts of the old systems and new technology from Germany . It was broadcast in German and French until 1944.

From 1949 to 1964 under the name RTF (Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française) . In 1964 the name was changed to ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française) .
