How do I listen to World Radio Paris?
On-Line: WRP streams two stations live on our website: WRP News and WRP MusicMix.
On-Air via DAB+: Since 2014, WRP has been broadcasted to DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radios across France. An old FM/AM radio will not work. Most radio receiving devices now sold in France are DAB compatible. Recently, WRP started broadcasting in Nice, also on DAB+, serving the English-speakers on the Côte d’Azur region.
WRP is easy to find: We are the last station in the list on screen. More info on DAB+ stations available in Paris here.
Download Our App
World Radio Paris has two apps. The free app gives you access to both our stations in low audio quality (32kbps, mono). It works very well in all areas, including those with poor 3G network coverage and inside the Paris underground metro system. The paid version allows you to stream both stations in high audio quality (128kbps, stereo). Choosing the paid version is an easy way for you to support WRP.
