ⓘ Radio There are three types of radio station in France: public stations such as France Inter, France Culture, France info, FIP, Radio Bleue, are run by Radio France, a state-owned organization; commercial stations (Europe 1, RTL, Radio Monte Carlo) which are financed by advertising and which broadcast from border areas; and privately-owned local stations (originally known as radios libres) which began to develop following a change in broadcasting laws in 1982. There are now more than 2,000 private stations such as NRJ, Europe 2 and Fun.
