Hello and thanks for joining us at LoveFip
The Official Unofficial website for lovers of Fip in Brighton and Hove city.
We are not associated with the radio station FIP (or Radio France) but we are the official site for everything unofficial to do with Fip in the city.
We love FIP and we hope you do too.
Looking for the latest on Vive La Fip?
The new website of Fip radio in Brighton & Hove 
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
Chantal (a Brighton depuis plus de 30 ans)

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?!?

I have no problem with my 15 year old echostar receivers that deliver far better sound and video than any receiver made in over a decade….I lost FIP for about four hours recently that is it….no other problems. You may need to upgrade your LNB or re enter the tuning details as a transponder tune.
Also what size dish have you got I hope it is not one of those tiny SKY dishes.
ASTRA 19.2 degrees East
11568 MHz

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.

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:

Free media player like VLC are able to read this streaming on all operating system:

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.!

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.

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.

GET FIP ON YOUR ITUNES
I’ve just figured out how to get FIP Radio on itunes. It’s great having it on itunes.
First of all make a itunes playlist called FIP.
Then click from the itunes top menu “Advanced>Open Audio Stream”. (I’ve got Apple Mac – not sure about PC).
Then copy and paste this url into the window (don’t click it like a web link, copy and paste it into itunes…)
[audio src="http://mp3.live.tv-radio.com/fip/all/fiphautdebit.mp3" /]
Now press play and you will be listening to FIP. This will create an album in your itunes library called “FIP Haut-débit”
Add “FIP Haut-débit” album to FIP playlist and hey presto… FIP on tap 🙂

A scotsman living in Brighton for about 5 years now. Came across FIP by accident. When I have moved to different places I like to tune into the radio stations in that place and found FIP next Radio 2, like most others I presume? Tried to describe it to people I work with – difficult. Initially I said “cafe music” but it tends to change into all sorts of music from different countries, but in a laid back way. Anyway it is worth supporting because I like to listen to something like this because it is something you cannot categorise. Keep listening as it makes you feel good.
