France 3 - Via Stella

France 3 - Via Stella is the Corsican-language public television channel operated by France Télévisions. Broadcasting across Corsica and occasionally via satellite for the Corsican diaspora, its programming reflects the island’s linguistic and cultural identity. The channel carries news bulletins in both Corsican and French, alongside documentaries focusing on local history, traditions, and the Mediterranean environment. Entertainment content includes music shows featuring Corsican polyphonic singing and contemporary artists, as well as films and series that are either dubbed or subtitled in Corsican. Cultural magazines, talk shows, and coverage of regional events such as festivals or sporting competitions also form part of the regular schedule.

Viewers can watch Via Stella live through the France.tv streaming platform, where a selection of past programmes is available on demand. The channel’s schedule is published in regional TV guides and on the France Télévisions website. While the primary focus remains on Corsican-language content, some programmes are broadcast in French with Corsican subtitles, particularly during prime-time slots. The channel does not carry advertising, in line with the public service remit of France Télévisions.
