[78-L] RadioRe: This Will Make Radio Even MORE Dead

[Bertrand CHAUMELLE]

I remember that. I'm not sure about the year, but since Socialist 
President Mitterrand arrived in '81, you must be right.

Before his election, he was defending what we called Radio Libres, 
illegal FM stations. Because he wanted to use a few of them for his 
propaganda.

Then the competing licenses were examined and most of those stations 
passed away. Among them Voice Of America who was the only one to talk 
about jazz with the necessary knowledge of the subject.

That's when I stopped listening to radio.
