Arte (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) is a Franco-German TV network. It describes itself as a European culture channel and aims to promote quality programming especially in areas of culture and the arts. Its facilities are located in Issy-les-Moulineaux near Paris, France, Strasbourg, France (headquarters) and Baden-Baden in Germany.

Because it is an international joint venture (an EEIG), programs cater technically to audiences from both countries. This implies double-titling, opposite-language subtitling and dubbing, hosts speaking both languages alternately and generally two separate audio tracks (only one is available over the air in France, but either one can be selected on satellite television and digital cable).

Arte began transmission in 1992, under socialist rule, filling frequencies left unused by the demise of La Cinq, the first French commercial television network (created in 1986). Arte has survived the 1993 transition to a right-wing government in spite of some fears, and quite a number of later changes, too.

Programs are created by Arte France formerly known as La Sept (theoretically "La Société d'édition des programmes de télévision", but also a word play, given that the name intuitively means "the seventh network" and indeed La Sept existed while the fifth network was still La Cinq; it made satellite television programs at the time) and by ARTE Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of the two main public German TV networks ARD and ZDF.

In France, in digital broadcast programming is available permanently (on digital cable, digital satellite and digital terrestrial television), but in analog broadcast, over the air only in the evening, as France 5 operates the frequencies during the day.

Arte is more popular in France (market share of about 5%) than in Germany (about 1%), but in Germany it has much more competition.

Arte is also available in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland via cable.

Arte has also an on-line radio web site, called Arte Radio.

The Australian Special Broadcasting Service translates many Arte programs into English for broadcast on its own television network and overseas.

Many French-language Arte programs are also broadcasted in Canada on the ARTV cable channel, partly owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (60%), Télé-Québec (25%) and Arte itself (15%).
