France Télévisions has interest in a number of thematic cable/satellite channels in France:

  • Gulli
  • Ma Planète
  • Planète Thalassa
  • Mezzo

It has a significant share in the ARTE Consortium that manages the bilingual French-German channel (ARTE shares its analog channel with France 5, but both channels have separate full-time services on cable, satellite and digital broadcasts).

France Télévisions also controls the new R1 digital broadcast multiplex that currently hosts France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5, and the parliamentary channel LCP/AN (La Chaîne Parlementaire/Assemblée Nationale) shared with Public Senat.
