During September and October 2015, the most listened radio station in France was RTL, which reached 11.7 percent of audience share, before France Inter with 10.1 percent of audience. According to a study conducted in the first quarter of 2019, France Inter led the ranking of radio stations>, accounting for an audience share of more than 12 percent.
Listening to the radio: emerging practices
Out of more than six million people listening to the radio using digital devices, about 3.8 million used their mobile phone to do so from September to October 2018. In addition to this, though still marginal, the habit of listening to radio podcasts appears to be settling among French: in 2017, almost a third of the respondents stated having listened to radio podcasts over the past year.
Trust in the media: radio most trusted in France
In France in early 2019, in a context of political protest and regular confrontations during demonstrations since November 2018, it seems that the confidence put into the news media is going through a significant drop: the reliability of various media types measured in January 2019 by Kantar Media declined compared to the past years. Regarding the radio media, half of the French surveyed considered the news related by the radio to be reliable, while the television was seen as reliable by less than 40 percent that year. More generally, 61 percent of French people said to trust information broadcasted on the radio.
