It describes itself as a European culture channel and aims to promote quality programming especially in areas of culture and the arts. Its facilities are located in [[Issy-les-Moulineaux]] near [[Paris]], [[France]], [[Strasbourg]], [[France]] (headquarters) and [[Baden-Baden]] in [[Germany]]. Because it is an international [[joint venture]] (an [[European economic interest grouping|EEIG]]), programs cater technically to audiences from both countries. This implies [[double-titling]], opposite-language [[subtitling]] and [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|dubbing]], hosts speaking both languages alternately and generally two separate [[audio track]]s (only one is available over the air in France, but either one can be selected on [[Satellite Television|satellite television]] and [[digital cable]]). Arte began [[transmission]] in [[1992]], under [[socialist]] rule, filling frequencies left unused by the demise of [[La Cinq]], the first [[French language|French]] commercial television network (created in [[1986]]). Arte has survived the [[1993]] transition to a right-wing government in spite of some fears, and quite a number of later changes, too. Programs are created by [[Arte France]] formerly known as [[La Sept]] (theoretically ''La Société d'édition des programmes de télévision'', but also a word play, given that the name intuitively means ''the seventh network'' and indeed La Sept existed while the fifth network was still La Cinq; it made satellite television programs at the time) and by [[ARTE Deutschland GmbH]], a subsidiary of the two main public German TV networks [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] and [[ZDF]]. In [[France]], in digital broadcast programming is available permanently (on digital [[Cable television|cable]], digital [[Satellite television|satellite]] and [[digital terrestrial television]]), but in analog broadcast, over the air only in the evening, as [[France 5]] operates the frequencies during the day. Arte is more popular in [[France]] (market share of about 5%) than in [[Germany]] (about 1%), but in [[Germany]] it has much more competition. Arte is also available in [[Belgium]] and the [[Netherlands]] via cable. Arte has also an on-line radio web site, called '''Arte Radio'''. The [[Australian]] [[Special Broadcasting Service]] translates many Arte programs into [[English language|English]] for broadcast on its own [[SBS Television|television network]] and overseas. Many French-language Arte programs are also broadcasted in [[Canada]] on the [[ARTV]] cable channel, partly owned by the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (60%), [[Télé-Québec]] (25%) and [[Arte]] itself (15%). == Programming == * [[Abenteuer Arte]] * [[Arte Europa]] * Arte Info - information program * [[Arte Kultur]] - cultural program * [[Arte Reportage]] - current affairs program * [[Arte Themenabend]] - special topics show * [[CHIC (arte)]] - fashion and style program * [[Das Forum der Europäer]] - political discussion about Europe * [[Denken erlaubt]] * [[Die großen Sportduelle]] - a show about the greatest sports duels * [[Die Nacht/La Nuit]] - late-night news * [[Durch die Nacht mit...]] * [[Geo 360]] * [[Hippokrates]] * [[Karambolage (ARTE)|Karambolage]] - a show about French/German customs * [[Kurzschluss (ARTE)|Kurzschluss]] * [[LOLA]] - women magazine * [[Metropolis (arte)]] * [[Mit offenen Karten]] - geopolitical documentary * [[Maestro (arte)]] * [[Memoquiz]] - recognition game shows * [[Tracks (ARTE)|Tracks]] - music program * [[WunderWelten]] * [[Zapping International]] - a documentary about television around the world == References == {{Reflist}} == See also == * [[European Institutions in Strasbourg]] ==External links== *[http://www.arte.tv Official Site] {{fr icon}} {{de icon}} features a free VoD service for parts of the arte made TV-programs restricted by IP-address. *[http://www.arteradio.com Arte Radio] *[http://www.artevod.com ARTE's non free VoD service] *[http://www.gentv.be/affichage.php?chaine=Arte Arte presentation at GenTV.be] {{fr icon}} {{French television stations}} [[Category:French television networks]] [[Category:German television networks]] [[Category:Television stations in Germany]] [[Category:Strasbourg]] [[Category:1992 establishments]] <!-- The below are interlanguage links. --> [[bs:ARTE]] [[cs:ARTE]] [[de:ARTE]] [[el:Arte]] [[es:Arte (TV)]] [[eo:ARTE]] [[fr:Arte]] [[id:Arte]] [[it:Arte (televisione)]] [[nl:ARTE]] [[no:Arte]] [[nds:Arte]] [[pl:Arte]] [[pt:ARTE TV]] [[ru:Arte (телеканал)]] [[sq:Arte (TV)]] [[sv:Arte]] [[zh:Arte]]
