History

TV Breizh was launched on 1 September 2000 by TF1 and Patrick Le Lay for the purposes of broadcasting regional programming and reruns of TF1 programmes.

TV Breizh tried to obtain an analogue broadcast licence for its region but was rejected by the CSA (Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel – Audio and Video Council). In 2004, TV Breizh was a prime candidate for a broadcast licence on Télévision Numérique Terrestre but failed.

Groupe TF1 becomes the owner of TV Breizh as of July 17, 2015

Programmes

TV Breizh concentrates on local programming such as news programmes but also reruns of old TF1 programmes such as Murder, She Wrote, Columbo and films. This has made TV Breizh more of a national entertainment station rather than a purely local station. Programmes in the Breton language decreased gradually in favour of French programmes, and as of 2010, they have controversially totally disappeared.

gollark: Interesting idea.
gollark: In stars there are also... neutron capture processes, or something, going on.
gollark: Things heavier than iron CAN be made by fusion. It just isn't energetically favorable to do so.
gollark: Besides, realistically, you only get one shot at killing someone *at most*, and do you really want to use it (try to) on *me*?
gollark: No, I mean that that makes it quite hard for you to go around murdering me, as well as the other reasons.
