The station is also broadcast in the Loire department, a large part of the Haute-Loire as well as a small part of that of Rhône on FM: it covers the agglomerations of Saint-Étienne, Roanne, Montbrison and Le Puy-en-Velay.

History

The creation of the station was announced in January 2013 by Phillippe Chaffanjon to fill a gap in network coverage.[3] The name of the station was announced on April 5, 2013.[4]

Soft launching without an announcement, it began broadcasting on September 9, 2013, as the 44th outpost of the network. Its creation was criticized by the union of Radio France employees as "a detriment to the other stations in the network".[5]
