History

RTF Télé-Strasbourg began broadcasting on 15 October 1953.{{Cite news|url=https://www.lemonde.fr/archives/article/1953/10/20/l-emetteur-de-television-de-strasbourg-est-pret-a-fonctionner_1985947_1819218.html|title = L'Émetteur de Télévision de Strasbourg Est Prêt a Fonctionner|newspaper = Le Monde.fr|date = 20 October 1953}} In 1964, RTF was replaced with ORTF by the government, with RTF Télé-Strasbourg becoming ORTF Télé-Strasbourg. After the de-establishment of ORTF on 6 January 1975, ORTF Télé-Strasbourg became FR3 Alsace. Following the establishment of France Télévisions on 7 September 1992, FR3 Alsace was rebranded France 3 Alsace.
