Chérie FM is a Frenchradio station created in 1987. It belongs to theNRJ Group.
Chérie FM was established in 1987 inParis by media executiveJean-Paul Baudecroux on the former frequency of the now-defunct station Gilda la Radiopolitaine. In 1989, Chérie FM began broadcasting nationally after theNRJ Group acquired the frequencies ofPacific FM.[1] Most of Pacific FM's regional frequencies were reallocated to Chérie FM, while the Paris frequency was used to launch a separate station,Rire & Chansons.
In 1992, the NRJ Group expanded the brand internationally by launchingChérie FM Belgique inBelgium, targetingFrench-speaking audiences inWallonia andBrussels. The Belgian version ceased operations in May 2008 after 16 years on air.[2][3]
On 12 December 2012, the NRJ Group launched a television counterpart to the radio station, namedChérie 25. The channel broadcasts inFrance viaTélévision Numérique Terrestre (TNT) inhigh definition. While sharing the brand identity and target demographic—primarily women—with Chérie FM, Chérie 25 features a distinct programming lineup that includes talk shows, documentaries, entertainment segments, television series, and films.
