Alsace 20

**Alsace 20**, formerly **Alsatic TV**, is a French regional generalist television channel that covers Alsace and whose offices are located in Strasbourg. Acquired by Altice Media, **Alsace 20** will be renamed **BFM Alsace** in 2022.

## History

In September 2009, Alsatic TV became **Alsace 20**, a cable channel created by Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace and L'Alsace. The channel is now "100% regional" in its capital, its team and its programs. In September 2014, the channel, in full development, made a major change in its programs. It now offers 1 hour of live regional news, from Monday to Friday at 7pm.

Dominique Formhals' company Aquatique Show, already present in the capital since the beginning, now holds 57% of the shares. Two employees hold 39% of the shares. The companies HDR (Daniel Trabucco), IFMO (Jean-Luc Bury), Stacco (Raymond Schweitzer) and the President of SIG (Martial Bellon), in their personal capacity, complete the shareholders' round table.

On 25 June 2021 Altice média applied to the CSA for approval of the Altice group's takeover of A.télé, which publishes Alsace 20, and provided details on the nature of the editorial project envisaged and the name of the service concerned by this operation.

There are 568,400 alsatians regularly watch the regional channel.
