Cap 24

Cap 24 was a French regional television channel intended for viewers in Paris and the surrounding Île-de-France region. It operated within France's digital terrestrial television framework and was one of the regional services allocated a slot by the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel, the country's audiovisual regulator. The service was initially selected under the name Côté Seine before adopting the Cap 24 brand for its public launch. Cap 24 began broadcasting on 20 March 2008 and transmitted from the Eiffel Tower, giving it a distinctly Paris-centered identity and distribution footprint. Its market was regional rather than national or international: the channel was designed to provide television programming for the capital and its wider metropolitan area. Available reference material documents the channel's regulatory allocation, rebranding, launch date, regional coverage, and transmission location, but does not establish its founder, ownership structure, programming slate, financial performance, executive team, or precise closure date. The channel is treated as defunct in this dossier because the cited reference describes it in the past tense and the listed website survives only as an archived historical reference.

Cap 24 emerged from France's regional digital terrestrial television allocation process. On 5 June 2007, the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel awarded the service, then identified as Côté Seine, one of four regional slots on the Télévision Numérique Terrestre platform. This regulatory decision established the basis for a Paris-area channel operating within the national digital terrestrial infrastructure. Before its launch, the service changed its name from Côté Seine to Cap 24. The new identity was used when broadcasting began on 20 March 2008. The channel served Paris and the Île-de-France region and transmitted from the Eiffel Tower, linking its technical distribution and brand identity to the capital. Available historical material does not provide enough information to reconstruct its programming, staffing, ownership, audience performance, commercial model, or exact end of operations. The channel is nevertheless documented as a former French regional television service rather than as a national broadcaster or a consumer-product brand. Its website was later preserved in an archived form, suggesting that the online presence belonged to the historical channel rather than an ongoing operation.
