LA TELEVISION ET LA RADIO EN FRANCE

La France compte plusieurs centaines de chanes de tlvision. Les premires taient des chanes
d'tat (RDF puis RTF puis ORTF). Une ouverture de nouveaux canaux en 1984 pour des chanes
prives et la privatisation de TF1 en 1987 a permis une vraie concurrence, aprs que les radios
libres apparurent en 1981.
La Radiodiffusion franaise (RDF) ne dispose d'aucune autonomie. Elle est place sous le contrle
entier de l'tat, conformment l'ordonnance de 1945 sur le monopole d'tat sur les ondes
nationales.
TF1 transmit les programmes de divertissement constituent, outre le journal tlvis, le cinma et
les fictions franaises, le fer de lance de la chane, cela souvent au dtriment des missions
culturelles.
En France, on diffrencie les radios publiques et prives. Les radios du service public sont
rattaches trois groupes : Radio France, Radio France internationale et France Tlvisions.
