Radio France Internationale is a privately owned entity headquartered in France. Founded in 1975, the company operates in broadcast media production and distribution, employing approximately 1300 individuals. It functions as a French news and current affairs public radio station broadcasting worldwide in French and 13 other languages. RFI's broadcasts are distributed on 156 different FM frequencies, via medium and short wave relays, on 30 different satellite signals globally, and through the internet and dedicated apps. The station also extends its reach through over 1000 partner radios worldwide, leveraging its Paris-based editorial teams and a global network of 400 correspondents to provide news bulletins and features.
On September 7, 2026, Radio France Internationale (RFI) partnered with Safeheron to pilot quantum-safe financial infrastructure on NEAR Protocol's testnet, positioning NEAR as a leader in quantum security for blockchain asset protection. Previously, on June 11, 2026, Israeli authorities barred a special correspondent for RFI and contributor to Radio France from entering the West Bank via Israeli territory. This incident, which saw the French journalist deported after being refused entry upon landing at Israel's main international airport the previous day, was viewed as an escalation of restrictions on foreign press following the ban on international journalists working in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Earlier, on May 25, 2026, RFI inaugurated its eighteenth language service by launching an Armenian-language desk. Staffed by eight journalists, the new newsroom focuses on producing digital-only content exclusively in Eastern Armenian for young audiences, prioritizing social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
