Radio listening is a habit or activity engaged in by an overwhelming majority of French people everyday (86.5% for three hours a day at the end of 2002), and 98.8% of French people own a radio receiver, indeed several (the average is 6.3 per household: radio alarm, car radio, kitchen transistor or radio cassette player, radio tuner in a hi-fi, walkman, and increasingly access to radio on the net via personal computer or cable/satellite TV).
