La Sept was a French free-to-air television network and production company created on 23 February 1986 to develop cultural and educational programming for transmission via the TDF 1 satellite. In French, the word "sept" means the number seven; and it not only represents the seventh network to have signed on in France, but it also serves as a backronym, for the Société d'édition de programmes de télévision (Television Programme Production Corporation).
