France 3 (French: [fʁɑ̃s tʁwɑ]) is a French free-to-air public television regional network part of the France Télévisions group. It is made up of a network of regional television services providing daily news programming and around ten hours of entertainment and cultural programming produced for and about the regions each week (similar to ITV in the United Kingdom). The channel also broadcasts various national programming and national and international news from Paris. The channel was known as France Régions 3 (FR3) until its rebranding to France 3 in September 1992 as part of a consolidation of the audiovisual public service under the France Télévision holding. In 2018, France 3 was the third most watched television station in France. Prior to the establishment of RFO, now Outre-Mer 1ère, FR3 was also declined as the local service to the various French overseas territories. Source: Wikipedia (en)
