France 3 Alsace is a regional television service and part of the France 3 network. Serving the Alsace region from its headquarters in Strasbourg, France 3 Alsace produces regional news, sport, features and entertainment programming.

History

[edit]

RTF Télé-Strasbourg began broadcasting on 15 October 1953.[1] In 1964, RTF was replaced with ORTF by the government, with RTF Télé-Strasbourg becoming ORTF Télé-Strasbourg. After the de-establishment of ORTF on 6 January 1975, ORTF Télé-Strasbourg became FR3 Alsace. Following the establishment of France Télévisions on 7 September 1992, FR3 Alsace was rebranded France 3 Alsace.

Two 10-minute sub-regional bulletins, Strasbourg-Deux Rives (serving Bas-Rhin) and France 3 Haute-Alsace (serving Haut-Rhin) are broadcast during Ici 19/20 at 1900 CET.

Rund um, a short bulletin in the Alsatian language with French subtitles, is also aired each weekday after the regional Ici 12/13 bulletin.[2]
