Radio audiences: RTL becomes the 3rd station in France, beaten by franceinfo

The question was on the lips of all radio executives this Wednesday. Maintained by total silence from the main stakeholders. But the publication this Thursday morning by Médiamétrie of the results of the EAR study on radio audiences in September and October put an end to the suspense: RTL has become the 3rd antenna in France, beaten by France Inter and now also by franceinfo.

300,000 fewer faithful over one year

In detail, the former number 1 is listened to every day by 4.90 million people.

Opposite, Franceinfo therefore recovers second place… despite a drop. The 100% news station of Radio France has 4.97 million regulars daily, 18,000 fewer than last year.
