Ou est passe FIP? Quand va-t-il revenir sur les antennes?Tous les jours j’essaie de l’entendre dans ma voiture. De temps en temps j’y arrive, mais pas pour assez longtemps. Quand je suis sur ordinateur j’ecoute FIP tout le temps.
Il faut absolument remettre FIP sur antenne, toute la journee et tous les jours.
FIP manque a Brighton, les brightoniens veulent FIP(pas seulement les Francais brightoniens). Tous les amateurs que je connais le reclament.
Il y a surement une facon europeenne de retablir FIP. C’est l’Europe ici aussi!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOUS VOULONS FIP.
Qui peut agir pour retablir FIP?
Amicalement

Is anyone updating this website??
FIP seems to have gone completely from satellite!
CanNOT receive FIP since weeks on my Astra1 dish!
Heared they are still on Atlantic Bird3, but don’t have a dish for that!
Anyone know more about this?!?

Bonjour.
Auditeur sur Grenoble via la reception satellite depuis longtemps, musique, qualité du son, climat jazz le soir, jamais les memes titres diffusées, et surtout, NO PUB!
Espere un jour FIP sur Grenoble, ici, beaucoup de radio commerciales sans interet, c’est pub et toujours les memes titres, c’est une polution sonores.
Me voici solidaire à cette association d FIP et bravo au créateur.
Cordialement

See Wikipedia ( english version ) Fip-radio.
Chapter : frequencies.

I live in Toulouse, and I can listen to FIP whenever I want… So I hope you’ll manage the same for you ^^
Good luck !

FIP stopped to broadcast its program on Astra satellite because of to high fees asked from Canalsat to retransmit. It maybe also due to the fact that the actual French president don’t really like the public media and he’s cutting its finances like suppressing on public TV the advertising income.
It’s possible to receive worldwide FIP via Internet streaming with a good quality under this link:
http://www.tv-radio.com/station/fip_mp3/fip_mp3-128k.m3u
Free media player like VLC are able to read this streaming on all operating system:

Don’t put everything into your hears!

It’s working these days (on 91.1) ! Thanks, c’est toujours un plaisir de pouvoir écouter ma radio préferée quand je viens a Brighton…

Interruption to FIP on Satellite Atlantic Bird 3 (5°W) since 22:35′
September 17, 2008 at 11:06 am
We live in Hanover, Brighton and get FIP crystal clear on our old FM radio. It brightens up my day no end!
September 19, 2008 at 9:55 am
Also in Belgium and the Netherlands we are deprived from FIP ( on the cable and hotbird/astra of course). My dutchspeaking website has been gently overflooded with comments in favour of FIP and here and there cable radio providers are considering to bring FIP back. So this is kind of an “Internationale de la Fip”.
Vive La Fip!

I used to love driving around Brighton trying to get the best FIP signal. Now I am living in Melbourne and, realising no amount of driving around the outback was going tp pick up a signal, have found the best way to have non-interupted fipness is t’internet… http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/fip/endirect/ If you hook up some cheap speakers, perhaps with a dodgy cable, to your PC it’s just as good as hanging out of one of the towerblocks in Kemp Town with a coat hanger.

I loooooove FIP so much, too
However, since I live in Belgium, I cannot use a regular FM receiver to listen to it.
But I’m using what is to me a perfect solution: use a FIP stream (eg the one mentioned above) via the SqueezeBox connected to my Hi-Fi system.

I listened FIP several years directly behind the French boarder where I was born in Germany. Then I moved after education away from the radio frequencies and was quiet happy to be able to listen FIP over DVB-S (Satelite). But now it’s gone
FIP? R.I.P.!

hey, we are in chicago and we listen to fip everyday on our internet radio. Love that station. I grew up in Troyes and on Good days (but only on good days) you could get FIP on the radio from the paris broadcast. It’s much better now.

FIP is back in Brighton since a few months, hurrah!
November 6, 2008 at 11:50 pm
FIP is still on one European satellite at high power:
Atlantic Bird 3 at 5.0°W
12543 H
27500-3/4
November 13, 2008 at 2:50 am
FIP is still available free to air on satellite via Atlantic Bird 3 at 5 degrees West.
It is on the super beam antenna which covers the whole of Europe . Most of Europe will receive very reliably this using a 80 cm dish. North of the Isle of Man and Newcastle in the UK may require a 90cm dish to be reliable. Europe mainland is good with a 80cm as far north as Scandanavia and Estonia.

We Love Fip. Vive la Fip et la resistence! We live in brighton and are listening right now, infact its the only station we listen to. Bon courage mon amis! xxxx p.s. ’sar-ko-zy’ is the only word we understand.

YES FIP!!
Gogo Fip :=)

According to the Radio France website their radio stations may soon be returning to the CanalSat platform on Astra 19.2 degrees east. Radio France and CanalSat are currently having discussions; let’s hope they conclude satisfactorily very shortly. The statement on the RF website can be found here: http://www.radiofrance.fr/services/ecouter/satellite.php

Hi all. Facebookers of the world that happen to love FIP can now gather on this group :

Radio France has confirmed that their seven radio stations, including FIP, are about to return to the CanalSat platform on Astra 19.2 degrees east. As before, the frequency will be 12.207GHz vertical. The latest statement on the RF website can be found at:
http://www.radiofrance.fr/services/ecouter/satellite.php
I’ll leave a post as soon as the stations are broadcasting again. Bonne ecoute!
January 20, 2009 at 8:50 am
FIP and her Radio France sister stations are now back on Astra. Happy listening everyone.
April 30, 2009 at 1:24 am
I’ve been listening to FIP online for the first time while working on the computer. What a varied, amazing station. When the bland commercial stations that we have here in the UK all boast that they play ‘A greater variety of music’ they don’t really know the meaning of that phrase.
Very impressive and let us hope that Radio France is able to keep FIP going.

Hi
How can I hear the Elbow interview and music that FIP ran Apr 16/17/18?
(Not sure of the dates)
May 23, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Да, есть над чем задуматься. Спасибо!
May 26, 2009 at 9:11 am
Отличный пост – слов нет. Спасибо.

I love FIP and listen via the internet on Radio France website or on Buttons on various sites listing radio and tv streams.
Perhaps an international campaign to get it on all platforms, satellite and internet is in order with gathering of critical mass to help survey grassroots demand for station.? Just a thought.
June 17, 2009 at 3:03 pm
And I may I suggest a GENERAL Fan Site outside FB sites. All of us could subscribe to FB Groups. Affiliate General site to Brighton and Hove ( I live in UK but this appears to be only Fan site in UK). That also could be another step forward. Petitioning OFCOM via No 10 is yet another idea.

Very interesting… thanks.
