France Info (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃s ɛ̃fo]) is a radio network operated by the French public service radio broadcaster Radio France with involvement of France Télévisions. It provides continuous live news and information.

Broadcasting on FM (as well as being streamed on the internet), France Info is receivable across France and audible too in the border regions of neighbouring countries, including southern parts of the United Kingdom, especially the southeastern coastal region of England.

History

[edit]

France Info was founded in 1987 by Roland Faure and Jérôme Bellay.[1][2] Year on year its audience has grown, notably after the social conflicts of 1995, 2003, and 2006. It is frequently estimated to be the fourth largest French radio network in terms of listener numbers, after RTL, NRJ and France Inter.

France Info has offices in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse, and also makes use of local-news input from the France Bleu network.
