C8 (French TV channel)

C8 (pronounced [se ɥit]) is a French free-to-air television channel owned by Canal+.

[5][6] C8 launched in Belgium on 28 April 2020; the station previously did not air in the country as Plug RTL held the rights to its spotlight programme, Touche pas à mon poste !

[7][8] On 24 July 2024, Arcom announced that it would not renew C8's DTT frequency, following a number of fines imposed by the regulator amid many controversies around Touche pas à mon poste !, and the channel announced that it would appeal to the Conseil d'État.

[13] On 16 December 2024, ARCOM issued its refusal decision, which was again contested on the merits and in summary proceedings by the channel.

[14] On 30 December 2024, the Conseil d'Etat rejected the second application for interim relief, ruling that the condition of urgency had not been met, and specifying that the appeal on the merits would be examined in a few weeks' time, before the contested decision was implemented at the end of February.
