Watch C8 France Live Stream Online
C8, abbreviation for Canal 8, formerly known as D8, is a private French general-interest television channel. The chain succeeds Direct 8, sold to the Canal + group by the Bolloré group. The channel has been available since October 7, 2012 on DTT, cable, satellite and ADSL television under the name D8.
The channel is renamed C8 on September 5, 2016 at 6:43 am. The name of Channel 8 includes the prefix "Channel" common to other channels of the group, CStar (formerly D17) and CNews (formerly iTÉLÉ). The new names of the three free channels bring them closer to the Canal + group and its pay-TV channels.
The channel is now owned by the Canal + group, a subsidiary of the Vivendi group. The majority shareholder is the Bolloré group, owned by Vincent Bolloré.
