C8 (pronounced [se ɥit]) is a French free-to-air television channel owned by Canal+.

History

D8 was launched in 2012, replacing Direct 8, after Groupe Canal+ purchased it from Bolloré. Vincent Bolloré would take control of Canal+ in 2015.

D8 was rebranded C8 on 5 September 2016, as announced by Vincent Bolloré.

C8 launched in Belgium on 28 April 2020; the station previously did not air in the country as Plug RTL held the rights to its spotlight programme, Touche pas à mon poste ! until that date.

On 24 July 2024, Arcom announced that it would not renew C8's DTT frequency, following a number of fines imposed by the regulator amid many controversies around Touche pas à mon poste !, and the channel announced that it would appeal to the Conseil d'État. Its first application for interim relief, challenging the list of shortlisted candidates for the allocation of DTT frequencies, was rejected in September 2024, and its first application on the merits was declared inadmissible as premature on the following 22 November. On 8 December 2024, the group announced the loss of 150 jobs as a direct result of this non-renewal. On 16 December 2024, ARCOM issued its refusal decision, which was again contested on the merits and in summary proceedings by the channel. On 30 December 2024, the Conseil d'Etat rejected the second application for interim relief, ruling that the condition of urgency had not been met, and specifying that the appeal on the merits would be examined in a few weeks' time, before the contested decision was implemented at the end of February.
