FRANCE
France 5 is a public television network in France, part of the France
Télévisions group. Principally featuring educational programming,
the channel's motto is la chaîne de la connaissance et du savoir
(the knowledge and science network). In contrast to the group's main channels, France 2 and France 3, France 5 includes neither entertainment nor dramas in its schedules, but concentrates instead on documentaries and discussion programmes: 3925 hours of documentaries were broadcast in 2003.
France 5 is available round the clock on cable, but over the air its analog programming is replaced by that of Arte during the evening hours (both channels have distinct full-time scheduling on digital TV broadcast).
