Hello reineke

I just noticed a few broken links in your list, these ones:

https://fsi-languages.yojik.eu/languages/french.html
http://www.tv5monde.com/TV5Site/webtv/index.php
http://web.usca.edu/forlang/resources/language-resources/french.dot
http://chalonmelanie.free.fr/
http://classes.bnf.fr/index.php
http://www.le-fos.com/ 403

It's a great list otherwise, very good suggestions! Here's the same list without the broken links.

One more:

Liberté, by Gretchen Angelo

It has the advantage of constantly being brought up to date; in some versions it even has answer keys.

But it can be a little difficult to get the audio...

Some reviews by professors can be found here:

The French ministère de la Culture published a review of 350 French Youtubers last November. The list is sorted by the subjects generally taught in French schools: littérature, langues, histoire, géographie, éducation civique, philosophie, économie, mathématiques, physique-chimie, biologie, technologie, arts, et sport. The list can be found here.

I am from USA and I can only gain access to:

https://www.arte.tv/fr/
https://www.francetvinfo.fr/

I am doing so without any Proxy. I am sure people with Proxys can do much more.

For what it's worth, I wasn't using a proxy for the above links nor for www.6play.fr and I'm currently accessing them from the US. I've also been able to access the handful of other regional networks that I've clicked through this morning. That said most of the more popular French networks? Can't access them at all.

You are fortunate; I am not.
When I go to http://www.6play.fr I am able to get thru to the first level for selections but it doesn't allow me to play any of the selections.
