Launched in 2004, TV Grandes Chaînes is the new fortnightly TV magazine with a highly innovative concept: a two-week guide that exclusively features the major channels TF1, France 2, France 3, Canal +, France 5/Arte and M6, and, since April 2005, the free DTT channels.

The idea for the magazine came from a simple observation: more than 40 million French people cannot receive cable and satellite channels, but most magazines still feature more pages on those channels.

TV Grandes Chaînes is based on a unique concept: all the programme pages feature a clear, detailed presentation of each channel accessible to all.
