Africa Radio

African diaspora communities across Europe and western Africa track political developments and contemporary rhythms through a cross-continental transmission network. Originally established in Gabon under the name Africa n°1 in 1981, this news and cultural network transferred its primary studio operations to France while maintaining extensive terrestrial relays across francophone Africa. Terrestrial FM transmitters reach capitals including Lomé on 101.9 FM, Abidjan on 91.1 FM, and Paris on 107.5 FM, supplemented by widespread French DAB+ coverage. News coverage anchors the daily schedule with hourly continental dispatches, financial analysis, investigative reports, and in-depth political interviews with regional leaders. Athletic coverage spotlights tournaments such as the Africa Cup of Nations through live commentary, whereas daily programming highlights contemporary Afropop, coupé-décalé, Congolese rumba, and interviews with figures like saxophonist Manu Dibango during his tenure. Digital access extends worldwide through africaradio.com.
