XXL (French TV)

XXL is is a television channel in France that is dedicated to sexual films and erotica. Created in 1996 and transmitted by the AB Sat satellite, and was the first French channel to broadcast free pornography every evening. XXL starts its programming at 10:30 PM with either an erotic film, or a talk show, sometimes hosted by former pornographic film actresses. From midnight, it broadcasts two pornographic films, of which the second is a repeat broadcast from the previous week. It broadcasts a gay movie every Tuesday and an amateur film every Wednesday. At the time of the debate on the protection of the minors with respect to the images in pornographic matter of 2002, the chain was strongly criticized because half of pornographic films on French television, were on this channel.
