Just like many other European countries, France has public and private television channels. The public broadcasting corporation [[France Télévisions]] comprises the channels [[France 2]], [[France 3]], [[France 4]], [[France 5]] and [[France Info (TV channel)|France Info]].

France Télévisions is also a shareholder of [[TV5Monde]], [[Arte]] and the [[Multilingualism|multilingual]] [[Pan-European identity|pan-European]] news channel [[Euronews]]. TV5Monde is a French-language common channel of France, Belgium and the French-speaking areas of Canada and Switzerland and, after the [[BBC]], [[CNN]] and MIV, the fourth largest television network in the world. Arte is a German-French channel controlled by Arte France together with the German public broadcasting corporations [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] and [[ZDF]].

The private broadcasting corporation [[TF1]] is the largest television channel in France. TF1 was public until 1987. The corporation also controls the sports channel [[Eurosport]]. Other major private channels include [[M6 (TV channel)|M6]] and [[Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal +]].

[[BFM TV]] is an independent private news channel, which is also broadcast on the Internet – just like the French and English language news channel [[France 24]], which has been broadcasting since December 2006 and is controlled by TF1 and France Télévisions.
