ICI

Ici is a network of local and regional radio stations in France, part of the national public broadcasting group Radio France. The network has a public service mission to serve local audiences and provides local news and content from each of its forty-three stations. Ici was created as France Bleu in 2000 by a fusion of two older Radio France networks, Les locales de Radio France and Radio Bleue. The flagship station in Paris goes by the name of ici Paris Île-de-France, while the individual stations are each named for their respective coverage areas, usually a département, région, or city. Since 2023, the network has collaborated with the regionalised public television network France 3 on news programmes, which share the Ici branding. Céline Pigalle has been director of the Ici network since 2023. His predecessors include Philippe Chaffanjon, Anne Brucy, Claude Perrier, Claude Esclatine, Frédéric Schlesinger, Éric Revel and Jean-Emmanuel Casalta.
