French internet radio for teens

December 24, 2024 3:14 AM

13 yo got an internet radio and would like to listen to French radio stations because she loves the language and would like to hear it more. But, like, not old people music please. There are way too many choices, can you recommend one?

She currently likes K-pop and the kind of music in Hazbin Hotel, not rap, hip hop, metal, techno...
I think current pop whatever is fine, just not "best of the 80s and 90s!" type music.

Thank you!

Seconding Fip! Also Radio Grenouille - ecelectic mix of things on there so I recommend checking back if you dont like the first thing you hear when you tune in.

NRJ and Skyrock might be worth checking out! Rap is very popular in France so it may appear on lots of the modern stations that just mention pop music.

Ouest FM. It's just a local station for Loire-Atlantique but I used to listen all the time to keep my French up to date. There's a mandate that radio stations play a certain percent of French language music but for the most part the non-French music will be UK hits.

Oh, I also wanted to mention ICI, which is French-Canadian. Used to be included in Sirius subscriptions.

Seconding ICI, which I heard broadcast on CBUX up near the border in Washington State.

I remembered another one: Alouette. Also regional radio, this time for Brittany and Normandy.
