==Closure==

In July 2018 the French government announced the closure of France Ô due to declining viewership. The ceasing of broadcast was scheduled for 9 August 2020, in time for the climax of the [[2020 Summer Olympics]], but was later pushed to 24 August due to scheduling issues caused by the [[COVID-19 pandemic in France|COVID-19 pandemic]], which resulted in the games being initially [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 Summer Olympics|delayed]] to 2021. The last programme broadcast on the channel was a repeat of the concert ''L'Outre-mer fait son Olympia 2019.'' After this, the channel only broadcast a loop of commercials promoting a new France Télévisions portal for overseas territories, known as "Portail des Outre-mer La 1ère", in addition to other overseas-themed programs on other France Télévisions channels. Its signal was permanently cut off on 2 September.<ref>{{Cite web|title=France Ô a fait ses adieux|url=https://www.ozap.com/actu/france-o-a-fait-ses-adieux/596273|access-date=2 September 2020|website=ozap.com|language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Franceinfo passera en HD dès le 1er septembre après la fermeture de France Ô|url=https://www.ozap.com/actu/franceinfo-passera-en-hd-des-le-1er-septembre-apres-la-fermeture-de-france-o/596152|date=19 August 2020|access-date=23 March 2021|website=ozap.com|language=fr}}</ref>
