In early January 1954, a regional television broadcasting transmitter was established in Marseille, marking it as the first of its kind on French soil, following previous installations in Lille and Paris. This transmitter, located on the Étoile mountain range, enables the broadcast of programs across the city. Concurrently, a new broadcasting house was constructed on Allée Ray-Grassi. On September 20, 1954, the Provencal television offices were inaugurated at the Parc Chanot in Marseille, introducing the concept of regional broadcasting. With its spacious facilities and brand-new studios, Provencal television was equipped from the outset better than its counterparts in other regions.
