'''Arte''' (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) is a [[France|Franco]]-[[Germany|German]] [[TV network]]. 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%).
