Direct 8 is a new French television network, owned by Vincent Bolloré. It is available through digital terrestrial television network "TNT" and the Hot Bird satellite position.

As the name suggests ('direct' is French for 'live'), is was intended to broadcast live shows only (except during night times and holiday seasons). However this is no longer the case.
