RadioBBC World Service can be received on digital FM 90.2 and Satellite Hot Bird 2-13º East.
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: English-language stations onlineMany radio stations stream their broadcasts on the Internet. Typically you will need RealPlayer or Windows Media Player, both of which can be downloaded.
TelevisionAlthough both Canal+ and Arte show some English-language programmes (particularly feature films, often at odd times of the day or night), for a reasonable amount of English-language television you really need a satellite TV installation. Canal Satellite and TPS are the two main (digital) satellite providers in France. Both have many channels, with a reasonable number of English-language programmes available on the French-language channels - 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).
