Métropole Télévision
 PROFILE
Operator of M6, Métropole Télévision offers programming that is anything but French provincial. M6 is the #2 television station in France (behind Société Television Francaise 1's TF1). The youth-oriented station's programming features music, but it also airs dramas, news, and kids' shows. Métropole Télévision has extended the M6 brand to merchandising ventures. The company's French pay TV channels include Club Téléachat, Fun TV, M6 Music, and Série Club. Its pay TV channels are broadcast via Television Par Satellite (TPS), a digital TV joint venture in which Métropole Télévision owns 25%. RTL Group and Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux own about 44% and 37% of the company, respectively, but they have equal voting rights.
