Direct 8
Direct 8 was a national French TV channel, owned by Vincent Bolloré. It was available through digital terrestrial television network "TNT" and the Astra 1H satellite position.
As the name suggests, Direct 8 was originally intended to broadcast live shows only. This is no longer the case.
Following its purchase by Canal Group, the channel closed down on 7 October 2012 and relaunched as D8.
