Question 25381 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

Mr. Laurent Furst, deputy for Bas-Rhin, draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the future of the three local FIP radio stations (Bordeaux, Nantes and Strasbourg) which the national management of Radio France announced the closure of in defiance of the commitment that Mrs. Sybile Veil, president and CEO of Radio France, had made before the cultural affairs committee of the National Assembly. These local radio stations broadcast information quality proximity reflecting the cultural abundance in the region. Local information given on air, for example, allows listeners to go to cultural events in their region that they would not have known about by listening to national radio. These local radio stations thus contribute to good attendance at conferences, concerts or shows in the region. Local FIP radio stations also have a role important for artists who are starting their careers and who can make themselves known and appreciated through these local radio stations, true vectors of cultural diversity. In compensation for these deletions, Ms. Sybile Veil announced in a letter dated November 22, 2019 the appointment of four musical delegates based in Bordeaux, Nantes, Strasbourg and Lyon. Thus, the three local radio stations employing 24 employees, and carrying out locally, broadcasts with staff located on site will be replaced by only four delegates, in other words simple local correspondents of a national radio station. Also, he would like to know if the Government confirms the elimination of FIP's local radio stations and how it intends to encourage the development and sustainability of the Radio France local network in the regions.
