What is Radio Monaco?
Radio Monaco is a French-language radio station. Its legal notice names the publisher as RADIO MONACO, a SARL with a capital of 20,000 euros, registered in the Répertoire du Commerce et de l'Industrie of the Principality under No. 06S04480, at 7 rue du Gabian in Monaco, and names Clémentine Pallanca, manager of the SARL, as director of publication.[1]
Its advertising page describes it as a “Station généraliste francophone, diffusant un programme musical alternant HITS et découvertes avec des rendez-vous d'information monégasque et internationale”.[2] Its page on its stations describes the Monte-Carlo service as “une radio musicale qui diffuse également des news et des émissions thématiques”, and lists other services: a Paris programme, a French-language programme for listeners in New York, and two music streams.[3] Those are the station's own descriptions. No entry for Radio Monaco in a regulator's register, and no report on it from a media monitoring body, was retrieved.
What does Radio Monaco cover?
By its own description, Radio Monaco's programme is mainly music, with news.[3] Its sport category, as read on 26 September 2026, listed items dated from 1 to 23 September 2026, among them professional contracts for four young AS Monaco footballers on 23 September, the first Monegasque women's football derby on 21 September, the announcement of a sprint race at the 2027 Monaco Grand Prix on 16 September, a women's basketball club on 15 September, a futsal event in Cannes on 10 September, the redesigned route of the 2027 Rallye Monte-Carlo on 9 September, and the situation of AS Monaco's basketball team on 1 and 4 September.[4]
Its team page lists two journalists, Marie Marquet and Jean-Christophe Sanchez, beside its presenters and DJs; it names no dedicated sport programme.[5]
How large is Radio Monaco's audience?
No audience figure for Radio Monaco from an audience-measurement body was retrieved. Its advertising page gives its frequencies and coverage but publishes no audience or listener figure.[2]
The station states its reach as coverage, not audience. Its advertising page lists FM 98.2 in Monaco, 95.4 in Nice, 103.2 in Cannes and Grasse and 95.4 in the Var and Saint-Tropez, and DAB+ in Monaco and Paris.[2] Its page on its stations gives the FM frequencies 95.4, 98.2 and 103.2 as covering a territory between Bordighera and Saint-Tropez.[3] Those are the station's own statements of where it can be received.
Since when has Radio Monaco existed?
The station's page on its services states: “Créée en 2007 par Gildo Pallanca Pastor”, and describes him as Consul General of Monaco in New York at the time of writing.[3] That founding date is the station's own; no independent source for it was retrieved.
The present publisher and director of publication are those named in the legal notice as read on 26 September 2026.[1] The station was publishing on that date: its sport category carried an item dated 23 September 2026.[4]
Why does Radio Monaco matter in Monaco's sport?
It is a Monaco-registered radio station whose news output, as read on 26 September 2026, reported on the Principality's clubs and events: AS Monaco's football and basketball sections, the women's derby, the Grand Prix and the Rallye Monte-Carlo.[1][4]
It is a music-led station, by its own description, and its sport coverage is carried as news items rather than as a sport programme.[2][5] No broadcast-rights agreement for any sport event was retrieved for it.
