RAI 1
France
RAI 1 is the primary public television channel in France, carrying a broad schedule of general-interest programming. Its daily lineup typically includes morning news and talk segments, afternoon game shows and magazine-style programs, and prime-time slots reserved for French drama series, reality competitions, and major entertainment events. The channel also broadcasts live coverage of national ceremonies, sports tournaments, and cultural galas, alongside a regular rotation of theatrical films and documentaries. News bulletins air multiple times throughout the day, with a flagship evening edition providing national and international coverage.
Viewers can access RAI 1 through standard terrestrial television, cable, and satellite platforms across the country. The channel also maintains a live stream on its official website, where selected programs are available for replay after broadcast. Printed and digital TV guides list the full schedule, which is subject to occasional changes for breaking news or special live events. No additional subscription is required for the terrestrial signal, as it is funded through the public television license fee.
