Radio France deploys technical infrastructure for Paris Olympics


 
Radio France has put its enhanced technical infrastructure to work covering the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, says the broadcaster’s Technical and Information Systems Department. In 2021, the French national public radio network, the country’s official radio for the Summer Games, initiated the ongoing migration to IP of its audio and video streams with Broadcasting Center Europe and Paris Olympics digital infrastructure provider Orange Business. 

For the Summer Games, Radio France has two studios at Club France — a designated area set up as a meeting place for French athletes, media, and supporters — in Parc de La Villette — one of the largest parks in Paris — to cover the celebrations and French medal wins. The coverage team, including on-air talent and editors, will broadcast from 10 a.m. to midnight. The setup includes a dedicated studio for the 24-hour news network franceinfo and a shared studio for sister stations France Inter, Mouv’ and France Bleu.

Radio France announces plans for longwave and mediumwave

France

Andy Sennitt writes in the PCJ Facebook group: Radio France is joining many other public broadcasters in Europe and will end all broadcasts on longwave and mediumwave. This will save 13 million euros annually. 

Last week the details were announced: At the end of this year, the two mediumwave transmitters of France Bleu (864 kHz and 1278 kHz) and the remaining nine mediumwave transmitters of France Info (603, 711, 1206, 1242, 1377, 1404, 1494 and 1557 kHz) will be silenced. Last year, three high power stations of France Info were already closed.


At the end of 2016. France-Inter will disappear from the longwave frequency 162 kHz. (Radio.NL via DX-Clusive 10/2015)
