Launched on 1 June 1987 by Radio France, France Info is Europe's first radio network that broadcasts live news and information 24 hours a day, serving most regions in France in 105.5 MHz.[citation needed] On 11 July 2016,[citation needed] the name of France Télévisions' then-upcoming news channel was announced to be France Info, which was launched on 1 September that year. This gathered the radio, television and online services under the banner of France Info.[2]
