as part of a carriage agreement with Time Warner Cable, officials said.
Effective Tuesday, the service with original programming from France,
Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and Africa became available to 700,000 digital and

TV5 is a premium service that costs $9.95 per month. Analog households in
Houston will also have to pay a $6 monthly fee for a digital converter in order
to get TV5.

an interest in French culture.
During the past year, the network has launched in New York, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Seattle and Boston.
