France Info

France Info ("Info" being an abbreviation for the French "Informations", or News) is a French public news radio station, part of the Radio France group. It is the major news radio station in France, and is available across the country, broadcasting world news 24 hours.

History

France Info was founded in 1987 by Roland Faure and Jérôme Bellay. Year on year, its audience grew, notably after the social conflicts of 1995, 2003, and 2006. Frequently, it is estimated to be the fourth national radio network in terms of listener numbers, behind RTL, NRJ and France Inter.

France Info has offices in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse. In other areas the France Bleu network is used.
