La Première (French pronunciation:[lapʁəmjɛʁ]) is a group of Frenchradio andtelevision stations operated by thestate-ownedFrance Télévisions group. The stations operate in France'soverseas departments and territories, carrying news, cultural, and regional language programming.
The service was first established in 1954 as theRadiodiffusion de la France Outre-Mer (RFOM). It was renamed a year later as theSociété de radiodiffusion de la France d'outre-mer (SORAFOM).
This was replaced in 1964, following the creation of theOffice de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française, by theOffice de coopération radiophonique (OCORA).
In August 1974, OCORA became a part of the reformulatedFR3: a network of regional television stations in mainland France. FR3's overseas operations were known asFR3 DOM-TOM and, unlike the arrangement in metropolitan France, were in charge of both television and radio.
In December 1982, France's overseas broadcasting operations were removed from FR3 and invested in the current organization, theSociété de Radiodiffusion et de télévision Française pour l'Outre-mer (RFO).
In July 2004,Réseau France Outre-mer (RFO) was reunited with the French mainland's public broadcasters when it was merged into theFrance Télévisions network.
On 30 November 2010, Réseau France Outre-mer was renamedRéseau Outre-Mer 1ère. In 2018, the name was changed to La Première, prefixed with the region name, to resolve atrademark concern fromGroupe M6 over possible confusion with its channelParis Première.
On 15 January 2020, France Télévisions channels andArte switched tohigh definition (HD) on satellite in overseas territories (except in New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna). Starting in September 2020, and following the release of frequencies operated byFrance Ô after its shutdown in August 2020, channels from the network can switch to HD ondigital terrestrial television (DTT). Since January 2022, all television services from the network have been broadcast in HD on DTT and satellite.
In January 2024, Outre-mer La Première was chosen by theRegulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication to be the operator of the ROMU overseas DTT multiplex, broadcastingFrance 2 inultra-high-definition quality.
La Première consists of nine radio and television services serving eleven regions, departments or communities ofOverseas France. The channels carry programmes that reflect the needs of the regions, including news bulletins and programmes reflective of the region's culture and history. These includeregional language programming where applicable.[1]
The network also operatesRadioOutre-mer La Première as a nationalinternet radio station, which carries a mix of music and programmes from all of the La Première stations. France Télévisions previously operated an equivalent national television channel,France Ô, but it was closed in 2020 due to declining viewership, and replaced by a digital platform.[2][3]
La Première radio is available only in overseas territories/departments and on the Internet via the website la1ere.fr. The content changes depending on what radio station one is listening to online or depending on where they live in the overseas territories/departments just like France 3 does with the regional news bulletins such as12/13,Soir 3 or other regional shows. It also offers free streaming online for radio and TV. The television broadcast on the website is only for those who live in the overseas territories/departments.[citation needed]
The territory ofFrench Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF) does not have a dedicated station as the population is transient and non-indigenous. Broadcasts, stories and breaking news concerning TAAF would be handled by Réunion La Première as they arise as oversight of TAAF is headquartered in the Réunionnaisecommune ofSaint Pierre. The other territory without a station,Clipperton Island, also has no permanent population and is actually private property of the French government.[citation needed]
