The France 2 and France 3 channels will be launched in ultra high definition according to a progressive schedule which starts on January 23. A modernization issue which is not unrelated to the upcoming Paris Olympics, of which France Télévisions is the official broadcaster.

A few months before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, of which it is the official free-to-air broadcaster, France Télévisions is launching its two main channels in ultra high definition (UHD). The challenge is high: to offer viewers sound and image quality unequaled until now, while strengthening its coverage of French territory, both in mainland France and overseas. An element also of modernization of the group, in terms of production and distribution means. The public group is the first, among its audiovisual counterparts, to pass this milestone.

In detail, France 2 UHD will be launched on January 23 (on TNT channel 52 in mainland France and 22 overseas) and France 3 UHD on July 10 - in time for the Games (channels 53 and 23). France 2 will be accessible gradually: first in Paris, Nantes and Bordeaux, then on April 2 in Marseille, on April 30 in Lyon... The channels will also be available everywhere by satellite and gradually, again, via Internet access providers. Internet.

Hello,
I couldn’t find your source regarding Atmos.
I have this information translated from Tele-Satellite:

France Télévisions is announcing a technological shift for its France 2 UHD channel: starting on January 26, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., it will abandon static HDR10 in favor of the dynamic formats HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.

France Télévisions has confirmed that this change, implemented for the broadcast of the Milan–Cortina Winter Olympic Games (February 6–22, 2026), will apply to terrestrial digital television (DTT), satellite television via Fransat, and compatible telecom operators. OrneTHD was the first operator to announce support for this technical evolution. Dynamic formats adjust brightness and contrast scene by scene, delivering superior contrast, color, and depth. In addition, the event will be broadcast in native UHD.

For Fransat subscribers, compatible UHD set-top boxes will carry the signal without requiring an update. With Orange, Free, or SFR, this will depend on the specific set-top boxes used. Recent TVs certified for HDR10+ or Dolby Vision will benefit fully; otherwise, backward compatibility in HDR10 will apply.

This initiative strengthens France Télévisions’ position in free-to-air UHD innovation, aligning it with standards used by platforms such as Netflix. Check your equipment compatibility to enjoy a more immersive Olympic experience.
