'''Arte''' ({{IPAc-en|ɑː|ɹ|ˈ|t|eɪ}}, {{IPA|fr|aʁte}}, {{IPA|de|ˈa⁠ʁ⁠tə|lang}}; ''{{lang|fr|Association relative à la télévision européenne}}'' (''{{lang|en|Association relating to European television}}''), sometimes stylised in lowercase or uppercase in its logo) is a [[European Union|European public service]] [[Television channel|channel]] dedicated to [[culture]]. It is made up of three separate companies: the [[Strasbourg]]-based [[European Economic Interest Grouping]] ([[EEIG]]) ARTE, plus two member companies acting as editorial and programme production centres, ARTE France in [[Paris]] (formerly known as [[La Sept]]) and ARTE Deutschland in [[Baden-Baden]] (a subsidiary of the two main public German TV networks [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] and [[ZDF]]). 

As an international joint venture (an [[EEIG]]), its programmes focus on audiences in both countries. Because of this, the channel has two audio tracks and two subtitle tracks, one each in [[French language|French]] and [[German language|German]].

80% of Arte's programming is provided by its French and German subsidiaries, each making half of the programmes. The remainder is provided by the European subsidiary and the channel's European partners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arte.tv/sites/en/corporate/qui-sommes-nous-cluster/publications/?lang=en|title=How is ARTE funded? – ARTE Entreprise|access-date=26 June 2016|archive-date=28 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160428061038/http://www.arte.tv/sites/en/corporate/qui-sommes-nous-cluster/publications/?lang=en|url-status=dead}}</ref> Selected programmes are available with [[English language|English]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Polish language|Polish]] and [[Italian language|Italian]] subtitles online.<ref name="KultursenderArte">{{Cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/presse/apios/press_release/1757.pdf|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216113315/http://presse.arte.tv/apios/press_release/1757.pdf|url-status=dead|title=Pressemitteilung: Der europäische Kultursender ARTE jetzt auch auf Englisch und Spanisch|archive-date=16 February 2016|access-date=5 March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.arte.tv/sites/services/arte-desormais-en-cinq-langues/|title=Avec le polonais, ARTE désormais en cinq langues – Services|newspaper=Services|language=fr-FR|access-date=2016-12-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/en/corporate/what-we-do/|title=What we do|last=ARTE|website=ARTE Entreprise|date=12 November 2018 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:2011 Arte Strasbourg.JPG|thumb|left|The ARTE building in [[Strasbourg]]]]

Arte was initiated as a symbol of Franco-German friendship and had been championed since 1988 by French President [[François Mitterrand]] and German Chancellor [[Helmut Kohl]]. It came to fruition on 2 October 1990, when an Interstate Treaty was signed between France and the [[States of Germany|German Länder]].<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web |date=18 August 2017 |title=Our History |url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/corporate/en/category/our-story/ |access-date=14 October 2021 |website=Arte.tv}}</ref>

Arte began [[transmission (telecommunications)|transmissions]] in 1992, filling frequencies left unused by the demise of [[La Cinq]], the first French commercial television network (created in 1986). The opening night on 30 May 1992 was broadcast live from the [[Strasbourg Opera House]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The founding of ARTE| work=ARTE Entreprise |url=http://www.arte.tv/sites/en/corporate/the-founding-of-arte-2/?lang=en|publisher=arte.tv|access-date=6 November 2015}}</ref>

Arte started as an evening-only service. In the daytime, its frequencies were shared with other channels. A public channel called ''Télé Emploi'' occupied the French frequencies for about a month in 1994, before the start of La Cinquième (''now [[France 5]]'') in December that year. For viewers in Germany, Arte was assigned a frequency on the [[Astra 1D]] satellite in late 1994, and it was eventually shared with [[Nickelodeon Germany]], later replaced by the new public children's channel [[Kika (TV channel)|Kika]].

In 1996, it started offering an afternoon schedule with reruns for viewers on digital satellite and digital cable. A "proper" afternoon schedule with programmes between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. was introduced on 6 January 2001.<ref>[http://download.pro.arte.tv/archives/bulletin/2001bul02.pdf A R T E M a g a z i n e], {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160428044941/http://download.pro.arte.tv/archives/bulletin/2001bul02.pdf |date=28 April 2016 }}, Download.pro.arte.tv, 6 January 2001</ref> The channel eventually got its own analogue frequency on the Astra satellites.

Arte has been broadcasting 24/7 since 2005. In 2007 the online catch-up service ARTE+7 was launched and offers free access to a broad range of programs within seven days of their original transmission.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arte.tv/sites/en/corporate/category/subjects/die-ausstrahlung/?lang=en|title=Broadcasting Archives – ARTE Entreprise|website=Arte.tv|date=26 November 2014 |language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-14}}</ref>

In October 2020, Arte marked 30 years since the signing of its founding treaty between France and Germany.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

==Transmission and reception==
ARTE programmes are available with multi-channel audio: all programmes are broadcast in French and German. In addition, whenever possible the original version is offered with French and German subtitles and the hearing or visually impaired may get subtitles or [[audio description]]. Since 2015 a selection of programmes have been available online which include English and Spanish subtitles. Polish was to follow in late 2016.<ref name="Arte setzt auf Themenabende">{{cite web|url=http://www.muensterschezeitung.de/Nachrichten/Kultur/2260089-Medien-Arte-setzt-auf-Themenabende|title=Arte setzt auf Themenabende|website=Munsterschezeitung.de|access-date=26 June 2016}}</ref>

The channel is widely available in Europe. Both the German and the French versions can be received in nearly all of Europe via satellite [[Astra (satellite)|Astra1]] (19, 2° East) and the French version is also available via [[Hot Bird]] (13° East). ARTE is also relayed by all cable networks in Germany and France. It is also available on numerous cable networks in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

Arte has been broadcast since 2008 in [[High-definition television|HD]] in Germany and France. Like the national channels of their own respective countries, the German [[High-definition television|HDTV]] version of ARTE broadcasts in [[720p50]], while the French one broadcasts in [[1080i25]]. Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE), a subsidiary of [[RTL Group]] and located in Luxembourg (formerly known as CLT-UFA and before its merger with UFA, the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion), provides most of the technical services for Arte.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bce.lu/arte/|title=Arte|website=Bce.lu|access-date=5 March 2022}}</ref>

In April 2016 Arte co-produced, (with [[Astra (satellite)|Astra]] satellite owner, [[SES (company)|SES]]) a live [[Ultra-high-definition television]] broadcast of the [[Le Corsaire]] ballet from the Vienna State Opera. The programme was transmitted free-to-air on the [[HD+|UHD1]] demonstration channel from the [[Astra 19.2°E]] satellites.<ref>[http://www.businesswire.com/news/financialpost/20160329005926/en/SES-ARTE-Broadcast-Le-Corsaire-Ballet-Live ''SES and ARTE to Broadcast Le Corsaire Ballet Live in Ultra HD via Astra 19.2''] Business Wire. 29 March 2016. Accessed 27 April 2016</ref>

In July 2016, the Italian public broadcaster RAI Com signed a partnership agreement with Arte to collaborate on coproductions and programme acquisitions. 
In November 2016, the Irish public television [[RTÉ]] signed a partnership agreement with Arte to produce programmes related to arts, culture and history as well as web content for ARTE Concert and ARTE in English. Arte also has agreements with [[Yle]] (Finnish public broadcasting) and Film Fund Luxembourg (a national fund that supports Luxembourgish audiovisual productions).<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

Arte programmes can be streamed live or watched on catch-up TV for at least 7 and up to 700 days on the arte.tv platform and on ARTE Concert.

===International===
In Africa Arte is broadcast via [[Satellite television|satellite]], [[Cable television|cable]] and [[MMDS]], and in many other countries via the digital service [[CanalSat]] Horizons.
Many French-language Arte programmes are also broadcast in Canada on the [[Ici ARTV]] cable channel, the majority-owned by the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (85%) and Arte itself (15%). The Australian [[Special Broadcasting Service]] translates many Arte programmes into English for broadcast on its own [[SBS Television|television network]] and overseas. In the United Kingdom, Arte, as well as many of its programmes, are available to watch via [[Learning on Screen - The British Universities and Colleges Film and Video Council|Learning on Screen]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://learningonscreen.ac.uk/ondemand/help.php/channels|title=Help · BoB}}</ref>

==Market share==
Arte usually has more viewers in France than in Germany. In 2015, its share of overall viewing was about 2.2% in France and about 1% in Germany. Before cable and satellite became widely used in France, Arte was available to almost everyone as one of six analogue terrestrial channels. The other five channels were not direct competitors to Arte. In Germany, widespread cable and satellite penetration meant the vast majority of German households had access to about three dozen channels, including several from public broadcasters with content similar to that seen on Arte.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kas.de/wf/doc/kas_454-544-1-30.pdf|title=Zehn Jahre arte|website=Kas.de|access-date=5 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130407155438/http://www.kas.de/wf/doc/kas_454-544-1-30.pdf|archive-date=7 April 2013|archive-format=PDF|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Online==
===arte.tv===
arte.tv is the channel's streaming service. It is accessible from browsers and Arte apps for smartphones and smart TVs. Arte.tv programmes are organised by theme or genre. They include feature films, documentaries and documentary cinema covering topics such as social affairs, the arts, history, nature and science, series, short and TV films, music and theatre performances, magazine shows, reportage and news, and web-based formats.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/de/|title = Deutsch-französischer Kultursender.

Arte's first digital effort was called ARTE+7, launched in September 2007. Initial it was a catch-up service, allowing viewers to watch ARTE programmes up to seven days after they were broadcast on television.<ref name="autogenerated2">{{cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/corporate/de/category/themes-de/verbreitung/|title = Verbreitung|website=arte.tv| date=14 January 2015 }}</ref> arte.tv has also been available for streaming in Germany and France since 2012.<ref name="autogenerated2"/> Most programmes can be streamed from 5 am on the morning of broadcast and remain available on replay for up to 90 days, sometimes longer. Some programmes are made available online ahead of transmission. Most of arte.tv now consists of web-only content.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.strategies.fr/actualites/medias/4062179W/arte-mise-sur-sa-plateformisation-.html|title = Arte mise sur sa "plateformisation" – Stratégies|website=Strategies.fr| date=2 June 2021 }}</ref>

Arte also has a podcast site, called ''Arte Radio''. Most of its programmes are in French.

ARTE Extra is a new feature, launched in [[Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV|HbbTV]] in 2020. Arte Extra provides four "smart playlists" related to different topics such as society, discovery and music which are put together from programmes available on arte.tv. The playlists can be accessed by pushing the red button on the remote control.<ref>{{cite web|title="Arte Extra": Arte weitet sein HbbTV-Angebot weiter aus|periodical=|publisher=DWDL.de GmbH|url=https://www.dwdl.de/nachrichten/78178/arte_extra_arte_weitet_sein_hbbtvangebot_weiter_aus/|url-status=|format=|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=Uwe Mantel|date=2020-06-22|language=|pages=|quote=}}</ref>

An annual Arte film festival takes place online in December.

===ARTE in six languages===
Since November 2015 Arte has been making selected programme content – above all documentaries, magazines and live arts – available online with [[English language|English]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]] subtitles. Since November 2016 a selection of programmes have featured [[Polish language|Polish]] subtitles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://info.arte.tv/de/arte-wird-multilingual|title = ARTE wird multilingual|website=Info.arte.tv}}</ref> [[Italian language|Italian]] subtitles have been provided since June 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/presse/pressemitteilungen/da-oggi-la-cultura-parla-6-lingue/|title=ARTE Presse|website=Arte.tv|language=de|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref> This online service is co-funded by the [[European Union|European Commission]], enabling 70% of Europeans to watch ARTE in their native language.<ref name="KultursenderArte"/>

===ARTE Concert===
ARTE Concert (known until 2014 as Arte Live Web<ref name="autogenerated2"/>) streams a selection of new and recent stage performances. These might be Arte co-productions or recordings by partners, including major venues and independent companies, festivals, and autonomous artists, producers and websites. Genres covered include opera, rock music, theatre, chamber music, jazz and electronic music. Apart from plays and concerts, it also offers backstage reports, exclusive interviews with performers and key figures at various festivals, and extracts from dress rehearsals. The livestreaming platform United We Stream was launched in 2020 in response to the closure of venues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Every day DJs and concerts are streamed live from empty clubs to audiences around the world in partnership with a wide range of performers. ARTE Concert streams more than 900 live shows and replays a year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/corporate/files/arte-brochure-all-about-arte-2021.pdf|title=Arte brochure :All About Arte 2021|website=Arte.tv|access-date=5 March 2022}}</ref>

In 2018, Arte launched its online opera season. As part of ARTE Concert, it provides access to new opera productions from various European opera houses by live stream or video on demand in six different languages via subtitles. The 2020/2021 opera season featured 21 opera houses from 12 European countries with both classic and contemporary productions.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arte präsentiert in Kooperation mit 21 europäischen Opernhäusern die neue digitale Opernspielzeit Saison ARTE Opera 21/22|publisher=|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/presse/meldungen-dossiers/arte-praesentiert-in-kooperation-mit-21-europaeischen-opernhaeusern-die-neue-digitale-opernspielzeit-saison-arte-opera-21-22/|url-status=|format=|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|website=Arte.tv|date=2021-09-21|language=|pages=|quote=}}</ref>

===Former themed platforms===
In 2009, ''ARTE Concert'' (formerly Arte Live Web) was launched, an online platform providing live broadcasts of festivals and concerts. In 2017, the arte.tv platform absorbed the themed platforms ''ARTE Creative'', ''ARTE Future'', ''ARTE Info'' and ''ARTE Cinema'', which previously were separate units.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.arte.tv/sites/presse/pressemitteilungen/arte-startet-neuen-online-auftritt/|title=ARTE startet neuen Online-Auftritt|website=Arte.tv|access-date=5 March 2022}}</ref> ''ARTE Concert'' is still organised as a separate brand integrated into Arte's online architecture.
