It was designed to serve as the residence of the 4 musical ensembles of the organization, including the two full-sized orchestras Orchestre National de France and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. A competition held in 2005 awarded the design of the refurbishment and new Auditorium to Paris-based firm AS.Architecture-Studio. Within the constraints of a tight site in the middle of an existing building, the room shape of the Auditorium developed based on a central stage surrounded by audience on all sides and with 2 levels of balconies, thus creating an exceptional proximity between the audience and the musicians, and a deep sense of intimacy. In addition to computer simulation studies conducted during design phases to develop the room shape in details, a 1:10 physical scale model was built for acoustical studies.

  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

La consultation internationale est remportée en 2005 par AS.Architecture-Studio, dont le projet préserve l’unicité du bâtiment au sein d’un es- pace paysager repensé. Symbole de la radio et des ondes, « la maison ronde » entame sa mue en 2009, sui- vant un planning de travaux fixé jusqu’en 2017, pour un coût total de 241,5 millions d’euros. Ce chantier de 100 000 m² a pour caractéristique de se dérouler en site occupé, une contrainte nécessitant un phasage minutieux des travaux de manière à maîtriser les nuisances acoustiques du chantier et de permettre aux antennes à conti- nuer de fonctionner. Le projet de restructuration prévoit la construction d’une salle symphonique de 1461 places, point d’orgue de cette réhabilitation, inaugurée en novembre 2014, ainsi que la mise en sécurité du bâtiment dont une grande partie est classée immeuble de grande hauteur (IGH) et l’aménagement paysager des espaces extérieurs occupés jusqu’à présent par le stationnement.

  • Projet Stratégique Pour Radio France (2018-2023)
    Projet stratégique pour Radio France (2018-2023) Introduction Dans la plupart des pays d’Europe, les médias en général et les médias publics en particulier voient souvent leur action remise en cause, malgré leur contribution à la « société démocratique », évaluée très sérieusement par l’Union Européenne de Radiodiffusion1 et en dépit d’une crédibilité en matière d’information qui est reconnue par les citoyens2. Dernier exemple, la proposition de suppression de la redevance en Suisse, « le no billag », qui s’appuyait sur l’idée, de plus en répandue, de ne vouloir payer que pour ce que l’on consomme. La votation du 4 mars a massivement rejeté l’initiative. Mais il ne faut pas faire perdre de vue l’arrière-plan de ces contestations du service public audiovisuel. Dans un contexte d’offres médiatiques démultipliées et de personnalisation de la consommation, il devient de plus en plus complexe pour les médias publics de conserver un rôle fédérateur, notamment auprès des publics nés avec le numérique. De nouveaux acteurs extrêmement puissants, les GAFA, dont la rapidité d’émergence et d’expansion en termes d’usages n’a pas connu d’équivalent par le passé, captent une partie croissante du temps disponible, des audiences et constituent de nouveaux intermédiaires entre les médias et leur public en structurant l’offre, hiérarchisant les contenus et leur visibilité3. Sollicités par d’innombrables propositions d’information ou de loisirs, les auditeurs-téléspectateurs- internautes-mobinautes sont devenus des « utilisateurs » exigeants, opérant des arbitrages constants. Ce qui vaut pour les médias publics vaut, bien sûr, pour la radio publique qui est aujourd’hui confrontée au risque de devenir un acteur plus petit dans un monde plus grand.

  • “MISSION EUROPE” a Bilingual Radio Fiction & a Quest
    “MISSION EUROPE” A bilingual radio fiction & a quest “Mission Europe” aims to help young Europeans become familiar with other European languages and cultures. The project is based on an original concept drafted by RFI which enables listeners to follow a bilingual radio-drama with little to no effort. The listeners follow the story of a heroine who speaks in their native tongue, and must learn to get by in a foreign culture with another language. Radio France Internationale, Deutsche Welle and Polskie Radio have joined forces in order to produce three series of 26 episodes. “Mission Berlin”, “Misja Kraków” and “Mission Paris” are three quests, each set in a video game. The player must guide his avatar on dangerous missions in Gemany, France and Poland respectively, finding clues and winning points. The player and his avatar must not only face extraordinary challenges, but also cope with everyday problems as they navigate the cities. In order to do this successfully they must ask for help and unveil their enemies’ identities by learning communication skills appropriate to the country’s language and culture. The listeners follow the video game adventures from the point of view of the player and his avatar who – just like the computer - speak the listeners’ mothertongue. The three series will be broadcast in Europe by the three radio stations involved as well as any other radiostations that are interested. It is possible to produce versions of the series combining any two languages. The co-producers will ensure the promotion of this original concept, by targeting organisations such as radio stations, language learning centres, cultural exchange networks and tourist boards.

  • (Restoring Shortwave Radio) Bill 2017 Submission 53
    Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Re: Australian Broadcasting Corporation Amendment (Restoring Shortwave Radio) Bill 2017 Dear Secretary, I live in Alice Springs and in the course of my work I travel all around Central Australia. Beyond about 70km from Alice Springs and in several select communities I can receive no radio broadcasts, and my only contact with the outside world is the occasional mobile phone reception area or wifi hotspot surrounding a roadhouse or station homestead or similar. I also have a satellite phone which I try to leave turned on when travelling. This way, if someone (e.g. my family) hears of a fire, flood or road closure in the area I am travelling in, they can try to get through to me and warn me. However, the disadvantages of this setup are 1) someone on the outside needs to have up-to-date information on emergencies which are unfolding, 2) they then need to know my whereabouts and understand that I may be in danger and need contacting and 3) They need to be able to get through to me on my satellite phone at the appropriate time. On point #3, there have already been times when I have been travelling with my satellite phone turned on and I have not received incoming calls. This is despite being connected to what is regarded as the most reliable satellite network. It is also possible that I will not have my satphone on at the appropriate time and there are any number of other inhibitions which might prevent me receiving an emergency call or update.

Public Service Broadcasting in Transition: A Documentary Reader Abstract This is a book of documents, comments, and cases that has been prepared, at the request of the European Institute for the Media, for the use of government officials and citizens interested in strengthening public service broadcasting in transition societies. In this book we try to provide a small chest of tools and background information that will be of assistance. We start, in Chapter 1, with an overview of some of the general principles of public service broadcasting, and include pertinent comments on each of them. Here, as throughout the book, we concentrate on issues of governance and financing, with some attention as well ot issues surrounding programming. In Chapter 2, we turn to current issues in the European-level debate, partly from the perspective of European expectations and standards that are employed in evaluation and accession processes.

  • Note Technique 12 Acces Medias Monde
    NOTE PRATIQUE -CULTURE JANVIER 2019 L'ACCES AUX MEDIAS DANS LE MONDE L’accès aux médias français à l’étranger participe au rayonnement de la France. Mais au-delà de cet aspect, il revêt une importance capitale pour les quelques 2 millions de Français établis à l’étranger pour qui cet accès permet de maintenir le lien avec la France, son actualité politique, économique, sociale et culturelle. L’ACCÈS AUX MÉDIAS FRANÇAIS À L’ÉTRANGER VIA LEURS SUPPORTS TRADITIONNELS L’AUDIOVISUEL L’accès direct aux médias français à l’étranger via leurs supports traditionnels (télévision, radio, journal papier, etc.) est possible, bien qu’il tende à diminuer au profit d’un accès numérique. Concernant les médias audiovisuels, cet « accès direct » est rendu possible grâce à l’activité de deux groupes : TV5 Monde et France Médias Monde. TV5Monde, initialement baptisée TV5, est créée à Paris le 2 janvier 1984 sous l’impulsion du ministère des Affaires étrangères français, par cinq chaînes de télévision publiques francophones. Aujourd’hui, TV5Monde est devenue l’un des plus grands réseaux mondiaux de télévision, aux côtés de MTV et CNN. Ses programmes, dont un certain nombre de France Télévisions, l’actionnaire majoritaire, sont diffusés par câble ou satellite dans plus de 200 pays et territoires, et touchent environ 55 millions de téléspectateurs chaque semaine. France Médias Monde regroupe la chaîne d’information continue France 24, Radio France Internationale, et la radio arabophone Monte-Carlo Doualiya. Les offres de France Télévisions et TV5 Monde disponibles à l’étranger France TV Pluzz Plus de 800 programmes issus de l’ensemble des chaînes du groupe France Télévisions sont disponibles depuis l’étranger.

The international competition won in 2005 by AS.Architecture-Studio retained the uniqueness of the building within a redesigned landscaped space. Symbol of the radio, the «round house» began its transformation in 2009, with a construction schedule through to 2017, for a total cost of 241.5 million euro. This 100,000m² construction programme is undertaken within occupied premises, a constraint that required careful phasing of work to minimize construction noise pollution and allow broadcasting to continue. The transformation project entails the construction of a 1461-seat symphony hall, highlight of the rehabilitation programme, which was inaugurated in November 2014; as well as upgrading the security of the building, much of which is classified high-rise, and the landscaping of outdoor spaces formerly occupied by car parking. Press Kit - The Grand Auditorium of the Maison de la Radio 2 The Maison de la Radio Grand Auditorium : a new Paris symphony hall With the Maison de la Radio Grand Auditorium, the public will at last have a new inter- national symphony hall in Paris.
