Not to be outdone by their British brethren, France unveiled its first gay television channel recently has been broadcasting its own all-gay, all-the-time network since 2004*, aptly named PinkTV. The station shows a blend of pop culture hijinks, cartoons, broadcast movies, documentaries, music programs, experimental videos and series ... blah blah blah; we're only really concerned with whether porn is part of the mix. Fortunately, the answer is mais oui!—mostly American imports from the likes of Falcon and such, though there are a few Euro features and offerings from native sons like Jean-Marc Prouveur as well. Most of the station's site is in French, but there are handy dandy English words splattered hither and yon so you know what's up, words like "hardcore" and "porn zone" and "Brazilian cock club." You know, the kind of content that translates nicely into any language.
