TV Breizh
TV Breizh ("Breizh" is Breton for "Brittany") is a private French regional station for the Brittany region. 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 became the owner of TV Breizh as of  July 17, 2015. Programmes. TV Breizh concentrates on local programming such as news programmes, but also airs reruns of old TF1 programmes such as "Murder, She Wrote", "Columbo" and films. This has made it 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 had, controversially, totally disappeared.
