Radio France Votes to Overhaul Mouv’, Ending Editorial Operations

Facing a €7.5 million budget cut, Radio France will transform its youth-focused station into a digital-only music stream, with workforce and legal details to be finalized next week.

Overview

  • Radio France’s CSE approved plans to suspend Mouv’s editorial programming and terrestrial broadcasting, converting it to a music-only digital platform.
  • The decision is part of broader cost-saving measures following a €7.5 million budget reduction under the 2025 finance law.
  • Mouv’s small editorial team, including two permanent staff and a dozen freelancers, will be disbanded, with many short-term contractors losing their jobs.
  • Technicians and sound engineers are expected to be redeployed within other Radio France stations, while flagship brands like France Inter and France Info will receive prioritized investment.
  • A follow-up CSE meeting next week will finalize the workforce redeployments and legal framework for the changes, set to take effect by the next academic term.
