History
[edit]RTF Télé-Marseille began broadcasting on 20 September 1954. In 1964, RTF was replaced with ORTF by the government, with RTF Télé-Marseille becoming ORTF Marseille Provence. After the de-establishment of ORTF on 6 January 1975, ORTF Télé-Marseille became FR3 Méditerranée. Following the establishment of France Télévisions on 7 September 1992, FR3 Méditerranée was rebranded France 3 Méditerranée.
News programmes
[edit]France 3 Méditerranée produces daily news programmes for its two sub-regions - the France 3 Côte d'Azur edition is produced in Antibes, with the Provence-Alpes sub-region receiving programming from Marseille. Each sub-region gets a 27-minute bulletin (midi-pile) at 1200 CET during Ici 12/13 and a main half-hour news broadcast at 1900 during Ici 19/20. Three ten-minute local bulletins for the Marseille, Côte Varoise and Nice areas are broadcast during Ici 19/20 at 1900 CET.
On 5 January 2009, a five-minute late night bulletin was introduced, forming part of Soir 3.
On some weekends and holiday periods, as well as during major events, the Côte d'Azur and Provence-Alpes news bulletins are combined into pan-regional Méditerranée editions.
