France 3 (French: [fʁɑ̃s tʁwɑ]) is a French free-to-air public television channel and part of the France Télévisions group, which also includes France 2, France 4, France 5 and France Info.
It is made up of a network of regional television services providing daily news programming and around ten hours of entertainment and cultural programming produced for and about the regions each week (like ITV in the United Kingdom). The channel also broadcasts various national programming and national and international news from Paris. The channel was known as France Régions 3 (FR3) until its official replacement by France 3 in September 1992.
In 2018, France 3 was the third most watched television station in France.[1]
Prior to the establishment of RFO, now Outre-Mer 1ère, it also broadcast to the various French overseas departments and territories.
