Kernews

Kernews is a French music station that does exactly what it says on the tin: plays music. Lots of it. The playlist swings from classic French chanson to modern pop and rock, with a healthy dose of international tracks thrown in. It's the kind of radio you'd hear in a Parisian café or a young professional's car on the way to work. The DJs keep chatter minimal, letting the songs breathe. You might catch some Johnny Hallyday followed by Daft Punk, which is a curveball that works. The station streams at 128kbps, which is decent enough for background listening. It's not trying to be groundbreaking…
