Chérie FM Rodez

Chérie FM Rodez runs on a simple premise: melody first, volume later. The playlist is variété française and soft international pop, the sort of thing built for the drive home through the Aveyron hills. Clara Luciani, Julien Doré, Angèle, plus the older chanson canon (Véronique Sanson, Alain Souchon) when the mood turns nostalgic. Mid-tempo, well-sung, unapologetically romantic. There's nothing edgy here, and the station isn't pretending otherwise. Ballads get plenty of room. So do the brighter French pop numbers that keep the pace up. French radio has always treated chanson as living repertoir…
