Radio Campus / Campusfm

What Radio Campus / Campusfm does

Campus FM (legally eCampus FM, association Radio Campus Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées) is a French non-profit associative radio station founded in 1982 by five student associations and headquartered on the Université Paul Sabatier campus in Toulouse, where it has been hosted by Crous since 2018. It broadcasts on 94 MHz across approximately a 40 km radius plus worldwide web streaming, reaching an audience of roughly 11,000-12,000 daily listeners and is described as the most listened-to associative radio in Toulouse. The station is part of the Radio Campus France national network of 30 campus radios and the Collectif des Radios Libres d'Occitanie (CRLO), with content covering student life, local culture, emerging music, and scientific storytelling via co-produced podcasts such as SONAR, UNIVOX, Starting Block, and Playlist de Chercheur·es.

The core product is live radio programming distributed via FM, web streaming (live.radio-campus.org), and on-demand replay through Vodio, SoundCloud, and Podcastics. Underlying technology is standard broadcast infrastructure plus a mobile studio for external event broadcasts, with no proprietary AI or advanced technology components. The business model is multi-stream and non-commercial: primary funding comes from the FSER (Fonds de Soutien à l'Expression Radiophonique) government grant, supplemented by membership fees and donations via HelloAsso, limited advertising through 'collective interest messages' (no commercial grid), workshop fees for radio/podcast production training, and event-based external broadcast and DJ services. The target audience is segmented across university students, the Toulouse metropolitan community, cultural associations and nonprofits, emerging musicians, and local businesses in the social economy (ESS) sector. Operations are supported by three permanent staff with over 10 years of tenure, approximately 100 volunteers, and rotating services civiques, governed by an elected board with co-president Jean Do Carmo, secretary Benjamin Marquebielle, and treasurer Marie-Lou Paitre.
