French films and the United Stated television market in 1998 The number of French titles programmed on US television channels in 1998 remained stable compared with 1997, at around 120 titles. The proportion of French films aired also remained steady, at 1.2%, comparable to the proportion broadcast on the major cable operators. As always, one of the Rainbow Entertainment group channels was the leading broadcaster of French films. However, this year Independent Film Channel almost doubled its French film slate, offering 23 titles. French films' programming share on IFC doubled, representing 1 film in 20. By and large, these 2 channels favored French classics, such as "Les Enfants du Paradis," "Le Dernier Métro," and " d’Amérique." The only recent French films aired were "Germinal," "Trois couleurs bleu" and "Le Colonel Chabert" on Bravo, as well as "La Cité des enfants perdus" on IFC. One film in 20 was French on Sundance Channel (the Showtime group's art house channel), which took out 2nd place this year. It programmed 22 titles, primarily recent films (including "Les Visiteurs," "Un divan à New York," "Le Hussard sur le toit," and "Le Journal d’un séducteur"). The group's flagship, Showtime, upped its French slate to 16 titles, against 10 in 1997. These were some of the same films (such as "Microcosmos" and "Le Huitième Jour"), as well as French foreign-language co-productions (such as "Beauté volée," "La Fleur de mon secret," and "Pinocchio"). Among the Warner group's pay-TV channels, French films stood firm on Cinemax (13 titles, including "La Cérémonie," "Mécaniques célestes," and "Le Cinquième Élément"), with the same films rerun on its new incarnation, Moremax. Of the Encore group's channels, only the urban channel Starz included French films in its line-up.
