'France 3' is the second largest
French public
television network and part of the
France Télévisions group, which also includes
France 2,
France 4,
France 5, and
France Ô.
It is made up of regional television stations and the program is slightly different depending on the broadcasting region, with only the national news being presented from
Paris, followed by Regional News provided by each regional broadcaster, comparable to
ITV in
UK. The name used to be 'FR3' or 'France Régions 3' (France Areas 3) until the beginning of the
1990s.
Prior to the establishment of
RFO, it also broadcast to the various French overseas territories.
