ARTE pushes the bounds of curiosity
Now more than ever, ARTE is forging ahead! Thanks to the advent of digital terrestrial television in France, and its growing success
in Germany, our channel is extending its broadcasting time to mornings, initially from 8 am at weekends and soon from midday
every weekday. ARTE is reasserting its European and cultural identity in the new, highly competitive audiovisual world. We are
setting out to conquer new daytime television audiences - an exciting new opportunity and a challenge.
Viewers can now discover new strands and see repeat broadcasts of our best documentaries, films and magazine programmes,
which have acquired real heritage value over time. We are featuring magazine programmes accessible to all those who want to
discover, understand and share in our world and the worlds of our neighbours. Subjects include the family, daily life in Europe,
health, cooking and wines. Our new historical programmes will give young people a frame of reference to help them better under-
stand today’s society. At the same time, we are driving forward with our goal to offer viewers an even wider range of dramatic art
performances, music and new artist profiles.
At a time of intense debate on the construction of Europe, it is essential that ARTE acts as a showcase for the rich cultural diver-
sity of our continent. That is our remit. And we take great care and pleasure in achieving this with each and every one of our
programmes.
We depend on the support of our audience, and we hope that with these new daytime programmes we can count on their loyal
support. Our goal of becoming the jewel in the crown of television is now within reach.

introduction May 2005
programme May 2005
An extended schedule and programmes accessible to all ARTE can be justifiably proud of its exceptional role in the world of television. We are distinct from other models of television, which rely mostly on the transient consumption of disposable images. Our policy is to broadcast high-quality national and international co-productions in cinema, drama and documentaries. ARTE's aim is to act as a link between viewers and the most important cultural, intellectual, spiritual, political and social movements of the past and present. Our theme evenings play a crucial role in this - evenings devoted to important events in the history of the Western world up to the 2Oth and the 21st century - such as the great invasions, the building of cathedrals, great scientific discoveries, the Holocaust, the Normandy landings and the emergence of a new terrorism, - are some of our channel’s notable successes.
Over the next few months, we will be featuring powerful programmes marking the end of the Second World War and the subse-quent upheavals such as the new balance of power and the Cold War. We will follow the debate on the European Constitution and we will celebrate major events such as the centenary of Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Leading film directors will come under the spotlight - Wim Wenders, Costa Gavras, Louis Malle and Billy Wilder. Two special weekends will be devoted to Jules Verne and to Versailles. Finally, 2006 will be the year of Mozart and of football. ARTE is planning landmark programmes to celebrate these occasions.
A television channel is like a living organism, constantly evolving to the rhythm of its environment and its own mutations. We are preparing a new schedule for September 2006, which will put the finishing touches to the work begun with the schedule introduced in January 2004. The current schedule has significantly improved clarity and user-friendliness. In addition, audience figures have significantly increased. We are going to focus our efforts on the daytime, the 7 pm – 8.45 pm time slot, and the late evening with the sole aim of meeting the expectations of our demanding and ever-curious audience.

Hallmarks of the channel since its inception and quickly imitated by other broadcasters, ARTE’s theme evenings symbolize a different way of watching television. Entertaining, investigative, always enriching, they explore an infinite range of subjects, drawing on all audiovisual genres: documentaries, current affairs, feature films, drama and many more.Three nights a week, television viewers can take the time to discover and understand. Each night of the week has its own special colour.
DISCOVERING THE GREAT LEGENDS OF OUR TIMEThema on Sunday • 8:45 pmUsually built around a major feature film scree-ned early evening, Thema on Sunday is aimed at a family audience, preferring enter-taining subjects that combine dreams and excitement: Bugatti and his “Dream Cars”, the Great Cathedrals, Brazil’s legendary Copaca-bana, Jules Verne or Vampires.
UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD TODAYThema on Tuesday • 8:45 pm and Wednesday • 3:15 pmPresented by Annie-Claude Elkaim, Alexandra Gerlach, Jürgen Biehle, Hervé Claude, Daniel Leconte

Once a month, this format pro- vides the fra-mework for the latest in the
"De quoi j’me mêle" (“It’s my business”) series, an open forum for studio discussion.
SHARING CULTUREThema on Friday • 10:15 pmA thought-provoking guide to the pleasures and all forms of culture, historical and contempo-rary. Thema on Friday takes a close look at Salvador Dali, exploring The Louvre and pur-suing its enquiries into Great Crime Films and Fiction in Europe...

Each form of filmmaking has a place on ARTE. Three times a week prime time, on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays in Thema, with a late-night slot on Wednesdays, the channel presents major, often award-winning films. Foreign films are usually broadcast in the original version with French subtitles. Two of the evening's full-length features are shown as repeats on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.Around twenty-five percent of the films shown are coproductions. Since its inception, ARTE has been financially committed to supporting talented filmmakers. Moreover, a co-production agreement between the ARD, ZDF and ARTE enables six European coproductions to reach the big screen every year, including successes such as Dogville or Dancer in the Dark by Lars von Trier (Golden Palm Award at Cannes), Intimacy by Patrice Chéreau (Golden Bear in Berlin), or Michael Haneke’s The Piano Teacher.

It is ARTE’s ambition to screen the best in television drama from France, Germany and Europe. Mostly screened as television premieres, two thirds of all featured titles are coproduced by ARTE itself.All kinds of formats and subjects are on offer. ARTE reserves a special place for prestige sagas such as Les Alsaciens, Thomas Mann et les siens or L’Algérie des Chimères, the flagship copro-ductions resulting from an ambitious policy. But drama on ARTE also takes the shape of nearly 200 made-for-TV-movies aired each year, which draw their inspiration from the rich tapestry of life: excitement, suspense, action, social reality, racial conflict, life’s everyday pleasures and major perso-nal crises. Directors commissioned by the chan-nel include some of France and Germany’s most talented, from Claire Denis, Benoît Jacquot, Max Färberböck to Dominik Graf or Erick Zonca, plus filmmakers from much further afield: in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Each brings their own perspective, and personal style of writing, which makes the channel's programming so rich and uniquely diverse - and so appreciated by viewers.
Drama on Tuesday *Tuesday • 10:45 pmDrama on Tuesday seeks to surprise its young and curious audience.

On-Air department
The role of the On-Air department is to design, prepare and ensure broadcast continuity of ARTE's programmes.Organised around four interlinked sectors: on- screen design and promotion, broadcast conti- nuity, pre-broadcast and broadcasting, the On-Air department is staffed by technical and crea-tive professionals.The move into the new headquarters has brought major technological changes, as we move to the switchover from the world of analogue to digital television. The necessary changes have resulted in an upgrading of the tasks carried out by the On-Air department, the aim being to achieve more effective working procedures and provide enhanced viewing comfort for our audiences. To accompany the new schedule, the On-Air department has developed a new design for the Channel, in collaboration with the Munich-based VELVET Agency for its image, and the NOVAPROD Agency in Paris for acoustic design.This new on-screen design is based on consis-tency, warmth and curiosity, our objective being to reinforce ARTE's visual and sound identity while inspiring a greater sense of involvement and improving legibility and accessibility. ARTE's new on-screen design won the European Eyes and Ears Award 2004 (best design for a news programme).May 2005
Broadcasting simultaneously in several languagesProducing and broadcasting in several lan-guages is a challenge ARTE faces on a daily basis. Depending on individual programme requirements, a number of different techniques are used, including subtitling, dubbing, voice-overs and narration provided by the Subtitling / Dubbing Service. For talk-show formats, simul-taneous interpretation may be provided by the Language service. The channel has developed a language adaptation system for major live events, such as opera, theatre and festivals. This technology ensures that ARTE viewers see or hear a faithful reflection of the original ver-sion. 200 different languages and dialects are represented in the 3500 programmes broad- cast each year by ARTE. French and German speakers automatically receive a version trans-lated into their respective language. In addition, when programmes are broadcast in more than one language, viewers with a stereo TV set or a satellite receiver can choose which language version to watch (including the original lan-guage version, when available).
Our Image and Ratings 13.7 million viewers watch ARTE for at least 15 consecutive minutes each week on either side of the Rhine. Recent surveys* confirm that the channel has an excellent image. Both French and German viewers see it as something of a refuge in the overall audiovisual landscape, a channel meeting high audience expectations as regards quality and respect of its viewers. ARTE is the preferred channel of 65% of French viewers. Among German viewers, too, ARTE is the channel with the best public image. ARTE recorded its best ever audience figures in 2004 and early 2005, with an 8% increase in market share in France and a 14% increase in Germany, thus returning to the sort of levels achieved prior to the change of transponder which had affected reception in 2003.

ARTE Video
Fifty times a year, ARTE Video offers viewers a documentary, a feature film or a play, each made to the same high editorial standard, with the same care devoted to the extra features and the standard of restitution, the cover design and the quality of the booklet.
The great classics of world cinema, such as Ozu, Renoir and Malle feature alongside works by contemporary masters, Lars Von Trier, Kaurismaki, Wenders – and films by daring young talents ranging from Marc Recha to Kyochi Kurosawa. As far as documentaries are concerned, DVDs of the channel’s collections – Le Dessous des cartes (If Maps could Talk), Architecture, Contacts, Aventure humaine (The Human Adventure), and Palettes, but also Grands duels du sport (Great Sporting Duels) – are consistently successful, while one-off releases provide a record of major ARTE pro-grammes - La Maison des Saoud, CIA guerres secrètes and the essential set on the Origine du christianisme -, and of the work of leading documentary filmmakers such as Raymond Depardon.
At the same time, ARTE Video is gradually building up a drama collection, featuring the work of Patrice Chéreau, Ariane Mnouchkine and Peter Brook.
ARTE EditionsARTE Editions publish about one hundred original works, which allow curious TV viewers to deepen their interest. Following its success with the novel Marie Bonaparte, and Jesus after Jesus by Gérard Mordillat and Jérôme Prieur, ARTE Editions, with Glénat, has now published Essence, the winner of the first European comic strips competition. Our ambi-tious publishing programme also includes major works reflecting leading productions such as Karambolage and Dessous des cartes, as well as a DVD book on Jules Vernes.

Structure
The ARTE GroupARTE is a European public-service cultural television channel. Its originality lies in the fact that it targets audiences of different back- grounds, specifically French and German.It is composed of three entities: The head-quarters in Strasbourg and two Members (responsible for programme production and delivery), ARTE France in Paris and ARTE Deutschland TV GmbH in Baden-Baden. ARTE France and ARTE Deutschland TV GmbH, currently provide three-quarters of ARTE’s programming in equal proportions, the remainder being provided by ARTE G.E.I.E.
The two Members are responsible for sub-mitting programme proposals and subse-quently supplying the headquarters with the programmes approved by the Programme Committee. They jointly finance and con-trol Headquarters operations in Strasbourg while representing their own interests before ARTE G.E.I.E’s advisory and decision-making bodies.
Budget
ARTE is financed, in France as in Germany, through the television licence fee. The channel is not permitted to air com-mercials, but may seek other ways of developing its own sources of income, in particular by attracting sponsorship.

Headquarters ARTE G.E.I.E.ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Euro-péenne) was founded on 30 April 1991 as a European Economic Interest Grouping (G.E.I.E.*). It is composed of two equal Members: ARTE Deutschland TV GmbH and ARTE France. Article 2 of the contract establishing ARTE G.E.I.E. defines its role: "The purpose of this grouping is to conceive and produce televi-sion programmes which, in a broad sense, are cultural and international in character and conducive to promoting understanding and rapprochement among Europe’s nations and to broadcast these programmes or to authorise their broadcasting."The Strasbourg Headquarters determines programme strategy, commissioning policy and scheduling. It is responsible for broad-casting and on-air promotion and provides the language services required for multilingual transmission. It also produces news, maga-zine programmes and some of the theme eve-nings. In addition to this, ARTE G.E.I.E. plans and coordinates public relations activities, the development of its website and manages relations with European partners.
* The purpose of a European Economic Interest Grouping (G.E.I.E.) is to promote cross-border cooperation and faci-litate or develop the economic activity of its members. Governed by European and not national law, its flexible legal structure enables its members to group part of their activities whilst retaining their legal and economic inde-pendence. May 2005

The Management Board
The Management Board directs the channel's operations and reports regularly to the General Assembly. It has four members: the Chairman, the Vice-Chairman, the Director of Programmes and the Administrative Director each appointed for a four-year term of office.
Representatives of ARTE France and ARTE Deutschland may be invited to attend exten-ded meetings of the Management Board.

The New Headquarters On 13 October 2003, ARTE inaugurated its new headquarters, located right next to the European institutions in Strasbourg. Eleven years after ARTE was launched, this event marked the success of a channel which has become an established feature in European television, a celebration of a fruitful friendship between France and Germany, and the consecration of an enthusiastic and open-minded approach to the idea of Europe.
On an 8,400 m2 site, the Franco-German team, led by architect Hans Struhk, working with Strasbourg-based partners "Maechel.Delaunay.Yund", has produced a building of great architec-tural simplicity, providing a surface area of some 14,350 m2. Visitors using the main entrance enter a four-storey high atrium where light, glass, wood and steel predominate. The building's transpa-rency lets the sun's rays flow through both the glass roof and the entirely glazed façade. Working areas (some 450 work stations) are grouped har-moniously around two internal court-yards – the atrium, and the hanging garden area above the studios, which are comfortable meeting places providing natural light.
Construction costs and related expenses were financed in particular by reimbursable advances of funds granted by the Urban Community of Strasbourg, the General Council of the Bas-Rhin region and the Regional Council of Alsace, as well as contributions from ARTE France and ARTE Deutschland TV GmbH. The European Investment Bank granted a loan for financing the new digital broadcasting technologies.
May 2005
Human ResourcesTo successfully achieve our goals, ARTE G.E.I.E. has a staff of 380 permanent employees. It also relies heavily on the services of freelance jour-nalists, show-business professionals hired on a contract basis, individuals working under fixed-term employment contracts or on-site training contracts, interns and other service providers. Numbers vary depending on requirements.
In 2004, the average age of people working for ARTE G.E.I.E. was 38 and a half with 7 years company service. 65 % of such employees, including 73 % of all men and 62 % of all women, held executive positions.
A 2002 survey of ARTE’s employees revealed that they identified strongly with the channel and largely approved of its objectives.
Due to ARTE's binational structure, the task of encouraging staff to adhere to a common corporate culture and a common corporate identity poses a considerable challenge which the Group heartily accepts. Improvements in the manage-ment of human resources and internal commu-nications within the group, as well as increased contacts among the various entities making up ARTE should help ensure that these objectives are achieved. At the end of 2004, ARTE G.E.I.E. hosted a Forum for employees to learn from other departments the skills and values which make the channel so successful.
The electronic newsletter "ZOOM" aims to strengthen internal cohesion within the ARTE Group while promoting shared objectives and a common sense of purpose among French and German employees. It sheds light on strategic management decisions and reports on the work of different departments within ARTE.

The French Member
ARTE France ARTE France produces, co-produces and purchases programmes for ARTE. Production policy focuses primarily on promoting origi-nal, high-quality audio-visual work favouring directors and the impact of their work. With its commissions making a decisive contribution to sustaining a network of independent pro-ducers, ARTE France plays a significant role in the film and television industry, both in France and across Europe.
ARTE France employs 220 people. These pro-fessionals with skills in programming, but also in communication, development, international relations and management, all contribute to the goals of the channel.
Three subsidiaries have also been set up: the film production company ARTE France Cinéma, which in turn has recently joined the SOFICA fund via the creation of a subsi-diary ARTE/COFINOVA, thus strengthening its support of the film-making industry, and the audio-visual production and publishing company ARTE France Développement, which markets home videos and DVDs under the ARTE Vidéo brand, mostly ARTE France productions.
ARTE France itself uses the ARTE Editions label to sell books and multimedia products associated with its programmes. ARTE France is shareholder in the French theme channel FRANCE 4.
On an international level, ARTE France has share-holdings in TV5 and Canal France International. Supplying these channels with its programmes enables ARTE to reach a wide international audience. ARTE France is also a partner in the Canadian cultural television venture ARTV. And ARTE France works with many European countries through co-produc-tions and programme exchanges.
As both a provider and an active player in cul-tural life, ARTE France’s cultural development team organizes numerous events promoting the spread of culture for all, including the Temps d’images Festival.
