France Culture is a French culture broadcaster that is part of Radio France and broadcasts word programs on cultural, scientific and socially relevant topics. The form of the presentation invites reflection and thus differs from the liveliness of other French radio stations.
Often topics are processed into large-scale themed evenings or nights in which work is carried out over several hours from very different perspectives and using different techniques ( radio feature , report , literary reading, radio play , radio essay , documentation, conversation) . For the German listener, the genres often mix in an unusual way.
In the night program too, detailed and sophisticated cultural contributions are broadcast ( Les nuits de France Culture ). Several times a day (at 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 12.30 p.m., 6 p.m. and on weekdays at 10 p.m.) there are detailed news programs from the France Culture editorial team , which, in contrast to the other channels, highlight the background, especially in lengthy conversations in the second half of the journal is worked out.
France Culture was founded in 1946 under the name Chaîne Nationale , renamed France III in 1958 and received its current name in 1963. A well-known program by France Culture was the “ Atelier de Création Radiophonique ”. France Culture has been headed by Sandrine Treiner since 2015 . In France, the program is mainly broadcast terrestrially via VHF , but can also be received via the Internet and digitally unencrypted via satellite ( DVB-S ).
