Broadcasts in French?
 

My wife would like to listen to some radio in French. I have tried some,
like RFI, but have not been able to pick up any stations recently. Does
anybody know of what might be available that I could pick up here in
Minnesota?

Try the SW listings for Canadian broadcast stations, some of which probably
have French-language content. Some of the Canadian Coast Guard radio
stations broadcast all notice to mariners first in English, then French.
Those begin on 2182 khz USB, shifting to either 2749 or 2598 khz. Notice to
mariners bcst usually start between 5-7 min after the top and bottom of the
hour (mandatory quiet/listening periods for 5 min at top and bottom of each
hour).

Hi Andy,

Go to the CBC website and look for their french language broadcast
schedule. I think that you can also hear it over the internet if you
have a high-speed connection. They may also have archives that you
can download.
Here is a CBC French link:

Hopes this helps.

Warren

les autres deja ecrirer: CBC / RCI . Radio Canada est dan toutes les
provinces et les villes en televison et radio tous les jours. Pour
Minnesota, peut-etre MW 540 Saskatchewan (Watrous/Regina), 990 Winnpeg.

You will be able to pick up Radio Canada International with no problems in
Minnesota.

The PDF file on this web page lists all of RCI's programs:

Can you get Societé Radio Canada? Of course, one problem is that the
medium wave CBC/SRC stations are moving to FM.

Here are the medium wave stations in Ontario and Manitoba for SRC 1ere
chaîne from radiocanada.ca

Ontario

Matachewan...1110
Mattawa......1090
Rolphton.....1400
Toronto.......860
Winsdor.......540

Manitoba

St. Lazare 860
Ste. Rose du Lac 860
Winnipeg/St. boniface 1050

Of course, the Toronto and Winnipeg stations should be strongest.
