According to a 2014 Médiamétrie survey, the channel reached an average of 51,000 viewers per week, and 76.9% of inhabitants of the Angers agglomeration knew of it. In 2014 its website recorded an average of 40,000 connections per month, rising to 200,000 during municipal elections.

Angers Télé is a French local television channel broadcasting in the Maine-et-Loire department, in the Angers area. At its launch, the channel was owned by the local mixed-economy company Angers Loire Télévisions SAEML, with capital of 400,000 euros. Its annual budget was 840,000 euros, of which 400,000 came from the city of Angers, 300,000 from the agglomeration and 40,000 from the general council, with nearly 100,000 euros from advertising and local partners. The channel's visual identity evolved over time. Its first logo represented the shape of the Angers Loire Métropole agglomeration, using the colours of its logo. In 2016 the channel changed the colours of its logotype to those of the Angers SCO football club. In 2019, as the channel became ViàAngers, it changed its logo again, adopting the graphic charter of the Vià network.
