RTBF Auvio: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

RTBF Auvio is the streaming platform of the RTBF, the public broadcaster of the French-speaking Community of Belgium. It brings together the broadcaster's audio, video and live offering: channels such as La Une, Tipik and La Trois, radio stations, series, films, news, sport, documentaries, culture, podcasts and children's programmes, plus an archive section. Programmes from RTBF channels can be watched for seven days after broadcast. The service is free and available through the website auvio.rtbf.be and through apps for Android and iOS. The offer is mainly in French.

The RTBF is headquartered in Brussels and is owned by the French Community of Belgium. It has no foreign parent. Auvio is a hosted service run by the broadcaster itself; there is no open-source version and no self-hosting option. For a European organisation or viewer this means the service falls under Belgian and European law and the owner is a public institution within the European Union.
