History

La Chaine Couleur (1972-1974)

The Third Channel (Channel 3) started its broadcasts on the 31st December 1972, called 'Couleur 3'. Its Programme Directeur General (PDG) at the time Jean-Louis Guillaud decided to call on the regional television stations of the ORTF and aspiring young television editors to join the new network, which was to be broadcast in colour, without advertisements and continuity announcers.

At the start of its life, Couleur 3 only broadcasted for three hours every day and only covered 26% of the population, its transmissions primarily covering Paris, the 'Ile-de-France' and 'Nord' regions. Its coverage improved and became national at the end of the decade.

Autonomous from the state (1974-1999)

7 October 1974 saw a law reform which saw the ORTF broken up into six separate state-owned companies, one of which was the Société nationale de programme de télévision France Régions 3 (FR3). FR3 was given the responsibility of managing and developing regional television and radio centres:

• 22 regional television stations (which produce 35 minutes of regional programming)
• 29 regional radio stations, edited by 11 centres

FR3 was launched on 6 January. Its PDG Claude Contamine decided to orient the channel towards film (examples being 'Cinéma de Minuit' and 'Cinéma 16 1976'), televised discussion and local opt-out programming. 22 March 1975 saw local programming being broadcast daily. One example of such programming- 'Les Jeux de 20 heures'- allowed each region in turn to be showcased nationally, in the format of a presenter in the Paris studio speaking to a presenter in a given regional station. After this programme was aired the State understod the importance of the régions and very slowly undertook measures to decentralise the country administratively and economically, including the regional centres of FR3.

21 October 1981 FR3 broadcast for the first time the ministers questions from the National Assembly. In January 1983 advertising was introduced to the network. In 5 September, its 12 centres of production were producing 3 hours daily of regional programmes. The American drama series Dynasty had its French airing every Saturday in 1984. In 1985 popular children’s show The Disney Channel aired on FR3 every Saturday night and ran for five seasons. (Not to be confused later with Disney Channel). A new regular time for national and local news- 'le 19|20' was broadcast for the first time in 1986 at 7pm until 8pm (or 19h to 20h).

Privatisation...almost (1986-1989)

However in 1986 the then government of Jacques Chirac propsed that one of the three public television companies be privatised. The original suggestion was to turn FR3 into a private body, however the final decision was that of TF1. The broadcasting authority at the time, the CNCL appointed Rene Han to be programme controller of FR3, with the result that the networked programmes took an even more cultural direction. For example Thalassa- le magazine de la mer gained a second weekly programme on Friday nights and an televisied opera aired every Wednesday nights.

Popular quiz show Questions pour un champion made its broadcasting début in November 1998 and La Classe, an entertainment programme which replaced Les Jeux de 20 heures and followed 19|20.

Making the public sector stronger (1989-1990)

The French television landscape at the end of the decade was comprised of a strong private sector in the TF1 and Canal+ channels and a fragmented public sector (Antenne 2 and FR3), so faced with that, the State, through its public body the CSA (Conseil Supérieure de l’Audiovisuel) decided that to reinforce the public broadcasting sector, FR3 would join Antenne 2 under a new public corporation.

In 1990 France 3 gave airtime on Saturday afternoons to the emerging educational network La Sept where it broadcasted until midnight. Saturday mornings were home to its own current affairs programmes Continentales and L’Eurojournal, both presented by Alex Taylor.

The public union (1990-present)

Starting the 7th September 1992 FR3 became France 3 and together with France 2 (ex Antenne 2) formed France Télévisions. In 1998 in a partnership with TPS launched a satellite station called Régions Logo France télévisions headquarters in Paris France Télévisions is the French public national television broadcaster. ...

Between 2000 and 2005 the following public channels La Cinquième, RFO (together with RFOsat, now called France Ô) and then France 4 joined France 2 and 3 under the France Télévisions corporate umbrella. Réseau France Outre-mer (RFO) is a network of radio and television stations operating in French overseas departments and territories around the world. ...

Under the direction of 'France Télévisions' président Patrick de Carolis and Director of Channels Patrice Duhamel, in October 2006 a new daily cultural programme called 'Ce soir (ou jamais !)' presented by Frederic Taddei marked the new cultural direction given to the programmes of France 3. Also the evening news programme Soir 3 was given a fixed hour – at 11pm. Soir 3 is, as its name suggests, the evening newscast of the French TV network France 3. ...

At present (2005- )

The channel is home to a diverse range of programming, from the soap operas (Plus belle la vie) to the cookery programmes (Bon appétit bien sûr) and from the cultural (Des racines et des ailles) to the quiz shows (Des chiffres et des lettres).

Another part of the channel is a great emphasis is on the celebration of the country as a whole and on the different regions which make up France (for example Plus belle la vie , a popular soap opera is set in Marseille. Some of its well known programmes can also be seen as part of the schedules of TV5 Monde. TV5MONDE logo since January 1st 2006 TV5MONDE (formerly known as TV5) is a global television network, broadcasting several channels of French language programming. ...

France 3 is now received by Digital Terrestrial Television (fr.- la television terrestre francaise) in % of French homes, each receiving a digital version of the traditional analogue signal.

Regional structure

From its historical origins, the Third Channel used regional editorial centres which were developed since 1963 and was owned by the ORTF. Often grouped in two levels (a super-region which houses two regions) the regional centres produce a regional news bulletin, along with mini news bulletins covering local areas (For example within the Nord Pas-de-Calais Picardie region, there is a region-wide news bulletin, along with local mini-bulletins for Lille-Metropole, Cote Opale, Arras etc) as well as regional entertainment shows.
