France Bleu Poitou is a regional public radio station belonging to the France Bleu network, which is owned and operated by the French national public broadcaster Radio France. The station serves the Poitou region, specifically targeting the departments of Vienne and Deux-Sèvres in western France.
The station was established as part of the reorganization of Radio France’s local stations. In September 2000, the "France Bleu" brand was created to unify the various local public radio stations across the country, including those serving the Poitou-Charentes area. France Bleu Poitou is headquartered in Poitiers, the capital of the Vienne department.
The programming of France Bleu Poitou focuses on local interests, including regional news, weather updates, traffic reports, and coverage of local cultural and sporting events. It also broadcasts music and interactive segments intended for a regional audience. Like other stations in the France Bleu network, it combines locally produced content with national programming distributed from Paris during specific time slots, such as late-night hours.
The station broadcasts on the FM band using several transmitters to ensure coverage across its designated geographical area. It is also available via digital platforms and satellite.
