In Besançon and the surrounding area of 87 communes, to start with, thanks to 13 radio stations, mainly associations, grouped together under the same pooling operator, managed by the directors of Villages FM and Radio Campus, Alain Bulle and Martial Greuillet. After five years of effort and occasional setbacks, the group has succeeded in setting up a collective antenna on the Montfaucon mast, ensuring that it reaches a catchment area of 451,420 potential listeners, or even more depending on the terrain. The aim is now to expand towards Pontarlier, Vesoul and Belfort-Montbéliard... A second operator, with wider aims, also broadcasts regionally, including France Bleu and RCF.
