Overview

ARTE in 6 languages in 2025

In 2025, thanks to European support, ARTE continued to propose an inspiring journey to shape a European culture label. Throughout the year, ARTE adapted 2200 programmes, tailoring them for English, Spanish, Polish, and Italian audiences. This rich and diverse catalogue transcended borders, reaching online viewers far beyond France and Germany, part of it being available worldwide. Innovative marketing and communication campaigns across Europe have supported the distribution of these contents, available across several selected channels.

In the framework of the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme, the second year of ARTE in 6 languages – Phase 8 project allowed us to amplify this cultural wave. It ensured not only greater visibility and heightened brand recognition across the continent but also infused the content with rich local flavour and an eclectic array of formats. From 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, these dynamic offers, available on arte.tv, third party and partner platforms, painted an ever more diverse and authentic portrait of Europe’s cultural and societal landscape.
