The main BBC stations and other English-language radio can also be received via many satellite TV installations or over the Internet. Previously broadcast programmes can often be listened to again or downloaded.

Voice of America is also available on shortwave, with NewsNow

Radio on the Internet

Many international radio stations are available streamed live on the Internet. Alternatively, select one of the stations:

Television

French channels Canal+ and Arte show some English-language programmes (particularly feature films),  however for more English-language television is available with satellite TV.

Canal Satellite and TPS, the two main digital satellite providers in France have merged. Between them, there are many channels, with a reasonable number of English-language programmes, including feature films, comedy, TV dramas, and documentaries - together with some English news feeds (from sources such as CNN, BBC World, Sky News and CNBC).

Alternatively, it is possible to access UK-based free-to-air (FTA) programming on the same satellite that broadcasts Sky Digital. Please note, however, that there is no legal way to access encrypted programming on that satellite while in France (such as Sky Digital's premium channels accessible only through a Sky subscription package, or those channels that may only be watched in the UK using a satellite receiver with a free-to-view - FTV - card installed).

  • The International Herald Tribune, edited in Paris, is the only English-language daily newspaper to reliably hit the entire area on its day of publication
  • The Financial Times is, however, often available on publication day

Other newspapers are available at many newsstands, usually on the day following publication.
