'''TV5Monde''' ({{IPA|fr|te ve sɛ̃k mɔ̃d}}), formerly known as '''TV5''', is a French [[public television]] network, broadcasting several channels of [[French-language]] programming. It is an approved participant member of the [[European Broadcasting Union]].<ref>{{cite web|title=TV5MONDE|url=http://www.go-eurovision.com/cms/en/members/associate;jsessionid=032BF9BB9FCFF7BC15745BBEE2AEEDFF|work=EBU|access-date=7 June 2011|archive-date=12 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212071825/http://www.go-eurovision.com/cms/en/members/associate;jsessionid=032BF9BB9FCFF7BC15745BBEE2AEEDFF|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The network is available across Europe on [[satellite television|satellite]] via [[Astra 19.2°E]] and [[Eutelsat]] [[Hot Bird]] (13°E) (both [[free-to-air]]), online and via [[TVPlayer]].

==Summary==
TV5 started on 2 January 1984 and was under the management of [[Serge Adda]] until his death in November 2004. The next director from 6 April 2005 was [[Jean-Jacques Aillagon]], a former [[Minister of Culture (France)|French Minister for Culture and Communication]]. The director-general is now Marie-Christine Saragosse.

In January 2006, TV5 underwent a major overhaul, including rebranding as "TV5Monde" to stress its focus as a global network ("Monde" is French for "World"). Also, the changes included a new schedule and a new program line-up. Since 1993, "TV5 Monde" is part of the channel's corporate name. Its Canadian operations are branded "TV5 Québec Canada", but the shorter version TV5 is also used.

==History==
TV5 was formed on 2 January 1984, under the guidance of [[Claude Cheysson]], the [[Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (France)|French Minister for Foreign Affairs]], and TV5 President [[Serge Adda]], by five public television channels: [[TF1]], [[France 2|Antenne 2]] and [[France 3|FR3]] from [[France]], the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[Radio Télévision Suisse|Télévision Suisse Romande]] and the [[Belgium|Belgian]] [[RTBF]]. The "5" from the name TV5 comes from the five public broadcasters. On 18 December 1985, TV5 was amongst the first four channels carried by cable television in France, inaugurated in [[Cergy-Pontoise]].

Following its privatisation in 1987, TF1 retired from the TV5 consortium but continued to supply its programmes to the channel until 1995. On 1 September 1988, [[TV5 Québec Canada]] was created, followed by TV5 Afrique in 1991. The following year, TV5 transmitted using digital compression towards Latin America and the Caribbean. Its coverage was expanded in 1996 with the launch of its Asian-Pacific signal with TV5 Asie-Pacifique and the subscription channel TV5 États-Unis in the United States. Two years later, the Middle East feed was launched with TV5 Moyen-Orient in 1998.

In early 1999, TV5 split its European signal into two, with the launch of TV5 France Belgique Suisse, a signal specific to [[Francophonie|Francophone]] Europe (France, Belgium, Switzerland, [[Monaco]], [[Luxembourg]]). TV5 Europe continued to serve the wider continental audience.

A consortium formed by public channels [[Arte]] and [[France 5|La Cinquième]] entered into the capital of the channel, which brought with it new sources of programming. A new schedule was constructed, centred on news programmes such as news flashes on the hour, two TV5 bulletins and rebroadcasts of its partners' main news programmes (''20 Heures'' from France 2, ''Soir 3'' from France 3, ''Le Journal'' from TSR/RTS and ''13 Heures'' from RTBF).

A meeting with ministers from TV5 in [[Vevey]], Switzerland, gave a mandate to the channel's council of co-operation to reform the structure of the channel in the view of creating a unique worldwide channel. The national governments in charge of the five participants gave an agreement to turn management of TV5 États-Unis and TV5 Amérique Latine over to TV5 Monde, the new name for the channel's head operations in Paris.

From the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001 to the [[2003 invasion of Iraq|2003 Iraq War]], the media coverage put the spotlight on TV5's particular way of broadcasting news bulletins from its member public broadcasters. International conflicts arising from the decision to go to war by the United States and the United Kingdom in which France notably refused to participate had relaunched the debate over whether to create an international news channel from a French perspective, resulting in the 2006 launch of [[France 24]].

With the creation of France 24 placing TV5's own existence in doubt, its new CEO, [[Jean-Jacques Aillagon]] decided from 1 January 2006 to rename the channel to '''TV5Monde''' to underline its status better as the only international [[Francophone]] channel available on-air (France 24 was then available only in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the United States cities of New York and Washington, DC, in French). Aillagon stepped down from his post on 3 March 2006.

The name TV5Monde applies only to its eight different signals, broadcast from its Paris headquarters. In [[Canada]], such as in French-speaking [[Quebec]], TV5 Quebec Canada is managed from [[Montreal]], which keeps the original name "TV5", as it is operated by an independent company that is distinct from TV5Monde. As well as being part of the TV5 family, TV5 Quebec Canada has its own management and its schedule is made with the Canadian viewer in mind and to conform to Canadian broadcast regulations, which, sets domestic production quotas and limits foreign investors to a minority stake.

In 2007, a new programme schedule saw the reduction of programming from [[France Télévisions]] (France 2, 3 and 5), for example, ti one daily news bulletin from France 2 by abandoning France 3's midday news programme. In 2008, TV5Monde became part of holding company France Monde.

In 2009, TV5Monde split its Asia-Pacific signal into two, one of them being TV5Monde Asie, a feed for territories located between GMT+8 (Hong Kong) and GMT+12 (New Zealand). TV5Monde's Pacific signal is an adaptation of its existing Asian signal that has been adopted to its time zones to serve its viewers better. It currently broadcasts in Oceania and, despite the signal's name, in Japan, South Korea and South East Asia.

On 25 February 2015, the new signal TV5Monde Brésil was launched broadcasting its programming with [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] subtitles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.meioemensagem.com.br/home/midia/noticias/2015/02/25/TV5Monde-chega-ao-Brasil.html|title=TV5Monde in Brazil|date=25 February 2015 |access-date=27 February 2015|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234054/http://www.meioemensagem.com.br/home/midia/noticias/2015/02/25/TV5Monde-chega-ao-Brasil.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===April 2015 cyberattack and resulting disruption===
On the evening of 8 April 2015, TV5Monde was the victim of a [[cyberattack]] by a hacker group known as "CyberCaliphate", which claimed to have ties to the terrorist organization [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]] (ISIL). The hackers breached the broadcaster's internal systems in what Director Yves Bigot described as an "unprecedented" attack, overriding TV5Monde's [[broadcasting#recorded broadcasts and live broadcasts|broadcast]] programming for over three hours, with service only partially restored in the early hours of the following morning.<ref name=DT>{{cite news|title=Isil hackers seize control of France's TV5Monde network in 'unprecedented' attack |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11525016/Isil-hackers-seize-control-of-Frances-TV5Monde-network-in-unprecedented-attack.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11525016/Isil-hackers-seize-control-of-Frances-TV5Monde-network-in-unprecedented-attack.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=10 April 2015|work=Daily Telegraph|date=9 April 2015}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Normal broadcasting services were still disrupted late into 9 April.<ref name=DT/> Various computerised internal administrative and support systems including e-mail were also still shut down or otherwise inaccessible because of the attack.<ref name=DT/><ref name=Guardian/> The hackers also hijacked TV5Monde's [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] pages to [[doxing|post the personal information of]] relatives of French soldiers participating in actions against the organization, along with messages critical of President [[François Hollande]] arguing that the [[January 2015 Île-de-France attacks|January 2015 terrorist attacks]] were "gifts" for his "unforgivable mistake" of partaking in conflicts that "[serve] no purpose".<ref name=DT/><ref name=independent-isiltv5>{{cite news|title=French TV network TV5Monde 'hacked by cyber caliphate in unprecedented attack' that revealed personal details of French soldiers|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/french-tv-network-tv5monde-hijacked-by-isis-hackers-in-unprecedented-attack-that-revealed-personal-details-of-french-soldiers-10164285.html|access-date=9 April 2015|work=The Independent|date=9 April 2015|archive-date=25 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925190340/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/french-tv-network-tv5monde-hijacked-by-isis-hackers-in-unprecedented-attack-that-revealed-personal-details-of-french-soldiers-10164285.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

As part of the official response to the attack, the [[Minister of Culture (France)|French Minister of Culture and Communications]], [[Fleur Pellerin]], called for an emergency meeting of the heads of various major media outlets and groups. The meeting took place on 10 April at an undisclosed location.<ref name=Guardian>{{cite news|title=French media groups to hold emergency meeting after Isis cyber-attack|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/09/french-tv-network-tv5monde-hijacked-by-pro-isis-hackers|access-date=10 April 2015|work=Guardian (online edition)|date=9 April 2015|archive-date=10 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150410083751/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/09/french-tv-network-tv5monde-hijacked-by-pro-isis-hackers|url-status=live}}</ref> [[French Prime Minister]] [[Manuel Valls]] called the attack "an unacceptable insult to freedom of information and expression".<ref name=Guardian/> A colleague in his cabinet, the [[Minister of the Interior (France)|Interior Minister]] [[Bernard Cazeneuve]], attempted to allay public concern by stating that France "had already increased its anti-hacking measures to protect against cyber-attacks" since the aforementioned terrorist attacks on January earlier that year, which had left a total of 20 people dead.<ref name=Guardian/>

French investigators later discounted the theory that the attack was connected to ISIL but instead suspected the [[Sofacy Group|APT28]] or ''Pawn Storm'', a hacking group with alleged links to the Russian government.<ref name="WapoDec28">{{cite news|last1=Troianovski|first1=Anton|author-link=Anton Troianovski|last2=Nakashima|first2=Ellen|author-link2=Ellen Nakashima|last3=Harris|first3=Shane|last4=Abbakumova|first4=Natalia|date=December 28, 2018|title=How Russia's military intelligence agency became the covert muscle in Putin's duels with the West|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|location=Moscow|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/how-russias-military-intelligence-agency-became-the-covert-muscle-in-putins-duels-with-the-west/2018/12/27/2736bbe2-fb2d-11e8-8c9a-860ce2a8148f_story.html|url-status=live|url-access=limited|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181229141356/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/how-russias-military-intelligence-agency-became-the-covert-muscle-in-putins-duels-with-the-west/2018/12/27/2736bbe2-fb2d-11e8-8c9a-860ce2a8148f_story.html|archive-date=December 29, 2018|quote=Unit 54777 also is thought by Western intelligence to work with other psy-ops and cyber units, such as the CyberCaliphate, a hacking outfit passing itself off as supporters of the Islamic State but really part of the same GRU unit that would penetrate the Democrats’ networks in 2016 [...] In April 2015, the CyberCaliphate, again claiming to be Islamic State supporters, took France’s TV5Monde off the air for 18 hours.}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=France probes Russian lead in TV5Monde hacking: sources|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-russia-cybercrime-idUSKBN0OQ2GG20150610|access-date=9 July 2015|work=Reuters|date=10 June 2015|archive-date=19 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160119055308/http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-russia-cybercrime-idUSKBN0OQ2GG20150610|url-status=live}}</ref> Investigators concluded that the attack was a test of the same sorts of cyberweaponry that were used to switch off a power station in Ukraine.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37590375|title=How France's TV5 was almost destroyed by 'Russian hackers'|last=Corera|first=Gordon|date=2016-10-10|newspaper=BBC News|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-10-16|archive-date=15 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180315014420/http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37590375|url-status=live}}</ref>

{{main|TV5 Québec Canada}}
TV5 Québec Canada is a [[French Canadian]] version of TV5MONDE that offers largely the same programming schedule, but programming from Radio-Canada, which is already available across Canada, is replaced with content from the provincial educational networks [[Télé-Québec]] and [[TFO]]. As with TV5MONDE, TV5 Québec Canada is also a co-operative effort but involving French Canadian networks and producers through l'Association des producteurs de films et de télévision du Québec. The Canadian license also includes ''[[Unis (TV channel)|Unis]]'', a channel focused on francophone communities outside Quebec.

In the United States, '''TV5MONDE États-Unis''' is one of several foreign-language premium channels offered through [[International Media Distribution]]. Broadcast is in standard definition only. The channel is offered nationwide on [[Dish Network]], [[AT&T U-verse]] and [[Verizon FiOS]] and offered in most major markets on traditional cable systems such as [[Charter Spectrum]], [[Cox Communications]], [[Xfinity]] and [[Bright House Networks]]. TV5MONDE is offered on cable and satellite as an à la carte selection for $9.99 a month. On most systems, a subscription to another programming tier or a digital cable package may be required. Purportedly because of underfunding, TV5MONDE cannot yet offer accurate advance scheduling or on-time programming, but progress is being made in those fronts.
