For a list of rights in other countries, see Sports television broadcast contracts. TF1 is a national French TV channel, controlled by TF1 Group, whose major share-holder is Bouygues. TF1's average market share of 24% makes it the most popular domestic network. Flagship shows include Star Academy (Endemol's international competitor to the X Factor franchise), CSI and House, M.D.. TF1 originally stood for T l vision Fran aise 1 (French Television 1). Since its privatisation in 1987, the abbreviation is no longer expanded, so as to avoid confusion with the government-owned channel France T l visions.
