C8 (pronounced [se ɥit]) is a French free-to-air television channel owned by Groupe Canal+.
History
[edit]D8 was launched in 2012, replacing Direct 8, after purchasing it to Groupe Bolloré.
D8 was rebranded C8 on 5 September 2016.[2][3]
C8 was unable to air in Belgium, because Plug RTL had the Belgian rights of Touche pas à mon poste !. C8 has not renewed the contract with RTL, in order to set up in Belgium in January 2020.[4] The Belgian feed was launched on 28 April 2020.[5]
