Some information from the German side of things would be useful.

Programming remains relatively hermetic and elitist, and is sometimes the subject of popular jokes. Is this really necessary? Sounds quite biased comment. Unnamed

I don't think it's biased, because Arte is known (in France at least) for that (being relatively hermetic and elitist), but it should probably be placed somewhere else in the text.84.102.7.136 23:34, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't seem biased to me either. It has the same reputation in Germany, and I think even those who watch it regularly would regard it as such.

Yes, if you compare it to the usual sh*t broadcasted by TF1 or RTL... --90.11.62.16 08:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but both "hermetic" and "elitist" are pejorative, so I've removed them. I think "intellectual" would be better. Opinions? yandman 09:08, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

We can cancel it unless we add that for many other people, Arte is an ambitious initiative to make culture accessible to everybody, to stimulate curiosity and to open our minds. As far as I am concerned, coming from a culturally modest family, I owe to Arte the possibility to enter in a world once reserved to an elite. So the question is: Where is Arte's elitism??? --90.16.168.69 17:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Adding onto the comment on "some things from the German side can be useful". Well, that could be easy IF:

• we know which ARD broadcaster (I'm assuming SWR) co-operates with ZDF and ARTE France, and thus handles German-language programming
• if it's avaliable on DTT and terrestrial television, as well as on pay-TV sources
• who operates the transmitters on the German side, whether it be Deutsche Telekom or not.

This would be a start. --User:DanCBJMS via 134.117.168.232 04:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RTBF and Arte, what's the connection?

When I go to www.rtbf.be (RTBF runs the public television channels from Wallonia, Belgium), it lists "Arte-Belgique" under television. On www.arte.tv, there is a clickable RTBF logo at the bottom of the page. So there is a connection, but my French is not so good so it's hard for me to find out. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the French language can take a look at it? W3ird N3rd (talk) 17:29, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
