History

RTF Télé-Strasbourg began broadcasting on 15 October 1953. In 1964, RTF was replaced with ORTF by the government, with RTF Télé-Strasbourg becoming ORTF Télé-Strasbourg. After the de-establishment of ORTF on 6 January 1975, ORTF Télé-Strasbourg became FR3 Alsace. Following the establishment of France Télévisions on 7 September 1992, FR3 Alsace was rebranded France 3 Alsace.

News

France 3 Alsace produces two daily region-wide news programmes - a 15 to 20-minute bulletin (midi-pile) at 1200 CET during 12|13 and the main half-hour news at 1900 during 19|20. Two 10-minute sub-regional bulletins, Strasbourg-Deux Rives (serving Bas-Rhin) and France 3 Haute-Alsace (serving Haut-Rhin) are broadcast during 19|20 at 1845 CET.

Rund um, a short bulletin in the Alsatian language with French subtitles, is also aired each weekday after the regional 12|13 bulletin.

On 5 January 2009, a 5-minute late night bulletin was introduced, forming part of Soir 3.
