Fun Radio (France)
Fun Radio is a French network of FM radio stations created on 2 October 1985 and offering electropop, dance and Eurodance music, operating on 250 different frequencies in France. The station belongs to RTL Group through Groupe M6 as do its sister stations RTL and RTL2. The three radio stations share the same headquarters located in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
As of November 2006, the station had approximately 3.2 million daily listeners.
Fun Radio was created on October 2, 1985, in the south of France under the name FUN by Éric Péchadre, Pierre Lattès and Jean-Baptiste Blanchemain, who controlled six local NRJ franchise stations belonging to them (Nancy, Grenoble, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Carcassonne and Toulouse) and a Chic FM station (Nice) directed by Françoise Martin, director of antenna and programs with the company Cofirad SA. This secession was prepared in secret with a small team, and the two stations' presenters were informed that day.
Some of the first animators of the station were DJ Didier Sinclair (until 1991), Jean-Luc Reichmann and Julien Courbet. Bernard Montiel was also one of the first animators of Fun Radio, where he hosted a cinema-related show.
Despite a good footprint in the south of France, FUN went through financial difficulties and was bought back in September 1987 by the Hersant group, which renamed it Fun Radio and merged it with the Chic FM networks. The radio moved to 143 avenue Charles-de-Gaulle (Neuilly-sur-Seine) and stayed there until 1999. Most of the Chic FM presenters, including Nagui and Laurent Boyer, were let go.
In 1988, Fun Radio had more regional frequencies than any other network: 97 compared to 56 of NRJ, 50 of Kiss FM, 16 of Skyrock and 7 of Hit FM. The station started to focus around the current hits with a format of playing six songs in a row before every advert. The appointment of Benoît Sillard to the station's director in 1989 allowed Fun Radio to find its own style.
In 1991, while staying on Skyrock, Arthur joined Fun Radio. The morning audience increased and the station had a combined audience of 5% with original and impertinent games and delusions on a large network, the "Orgasmotron". Fun was also the most listened-to station for young audience. In 1992, Arthur left Fun Radio for Europe 1.
In October 1992, to compete with the success of Bonsoir la Planète on Skyrock, Benoît Sillard launched the show Lovin'Fun animated by Le Doc, Christian Spitz, and Difool. Fun Radio became the most listened to radio after 8:00 pm with this free-antenna program by focusing on love and sexuality topics.
