Radio Studio

What Radio Studio does

Radio Studio 1 is a private local radio station headquartered in Bitche, Moselle, in the Grand Est region of France. Founded in 2016, it serves the Pays de Bitche and Sarreguemines territory with daily music programming across five weekday time slots (6h–9h, 9h–12h, 12h–16h, 16h–19h) plus weekend shows, alongside regional news aggregation, a local events calendar, and podcasts. The station operates a secondary web-only brand, Génération +, targeting older audiences with sentimental and variety music. Its audience consists primarily of regional residents seeking local news, music, and community content, complemented by local SMBs and merchants advertising through the station.

The underlying technology is entirely third-party: the website, CMS, hosting, and 24/7 online streaming infrastructure are all powered by the RadioKing web radio platform. No proprietary technology, APIs, mobile apps, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Distribution is via online streaming, the radiostudio1.com website, Facebook, and YouTube. A volunteer association (Association des Animateurs Bénévoles) supports operations and trains new presenters.

Revenue is generated through three streams: local advertising sold to SMBs in the Pays de Bitche area, a membership card program that offers listeners discounts at partner establishments (effectively a community loyalty/affiliate arrangement), and donations plus sponsorships routed through the volunteer association. No public pricing, no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no parent company are reported. The company is privately held and community-oriented, with a small core paid staff supplemented by volunteers.
