Question 34084 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

Local community radio stations, which represent more than 700 structures in France, play an essential role in favor of local communication and cultural diversity as close as possible to the territories. The Government therefore pays particular attention to the support provided to this exceptional network of local media. To this end, the finance bill for 2021, despite the particularly constrained context of public finances, strengthens the credits of the Support Fund for Radio Expression (FSER) increased to 32 million euros, an increase of 1.25 million euros over one year. This effort illustrates the Government's desire to promote a system that has proven itself and which represents on average 40% of the resources of these structures. Furthermore, the Ministry of Culture will adapt the criteria for calculating aid paid under of the FSER for the year 2021, in order to take into account the particular circumstances in which the activity of these community radio stations took place during the health crisis. In addition, the amended finance law of November 30, 2020 allows the implementation of an emergency fund of 30 million euros for small employer associations with fewer than 10 employees. They will thus be able to obtain aid of an amount ranging between 5,000 and 8,000 euros. This aid should allow them to continue their activity during the crisis, finance the jobs of their employees and overcome cash flow difficulties. Local community radio stations will be eligible for this system which will be deployed at the beginning of 2021 by the State Secretariat responsible for the social, solidarity and responsible economy.
