C8

C8
--

**C8** (pronounced [se ɥit]) is a French free-to-air television channel owned by Groupe Canal+.

## History

D8 was launched in 2012, replacing Direct 8, after purchasing it to Groupe Bolloré.

**D8** was rebranded **C8** on 5 September 2016.

C8 was unable to air in Belgium, because Plug RTL had the Belgian rights of *Touche pas à mon poste !*. C8 has not renewed the contract with RTL, in order to set up in Belgium in January 2020. The Belgian feed was launched on 28 April 2020.
