Paris radio on the Internet

World Radio Paris (WRP) is a non-commercial community radio streaming over the Internet in English. It is based at the American University and works in partnership with the BBC and NPR. Programming includes BBC and NRP shows as well as locally produced talk radio and jazz nights.

Television

Although 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).
