Radio France

Radio France (French pronunciation: [ʁadjo fʁɑ̃s]) is the French national public radio broadcaster.

Radio France offers seven national networks:

Radio France's two principal missions are:

Radio France has its headquarters at the Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, a circular building designed by the architect Henry Bernard (architect) and inaugurated in December 1963 by President Charles de Gaulle, which stands beside the River Seine in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. In addition to housing Radio France's central services and the studios of several of its channels, the building is home to the Musée de Radio France, a museum of radio and television broadcasting and recording techniques. The building caught fire in October 2014.

The headquarters of Radio France is constituted of roughly a hundred studios dedicated to radio broadcasts and concerts, as well as an auditorium, which stands on the site of the former studios 102 and 103. Public broadcasts and concerts are generally held in studio 105 (with 237 seats) and studio 106 (with 137 seats). Studios 611, 621, 511, and 521 are dedicated to the France Inter channel. Studio 221 is described as the "telegenic" studio, where programs such as "Les Informés", "8.30 Franceinfo", or "Questions Politiques" are recorded and aired on the television channel France Info.

The Radio France group is 100% owned by the French State. Nearly 80% of Radio France's funding comes from Television licence, the remaining 20% comes from own resources, mainly from advertising and diversification activities developed by Radio France.

In September 2019, a bill emanating from the Ministry of Culture announces the creation of "France Médias", a parent company which will bring together France Télévisions, Radio France, France Médias Monde and the INA. This bill also provides for the end of the appointments of directors of Radio France by the CSA, a power which will be attributed to the board of directors of the radiophonic entity, which will continue to operate independently, but also in synergy with the other entities of France Médias.

Mathieu Gallet, former President and CEO of the Institut national de l'audiovisuel|National Audiovisual Institute (INA) from 2010 to 2014, was unanimously appointed by the members of the Higher Audiovisual Council (CSA)
