How To Study Drmrsvandertramp
Radio Radio Days Night

Thus the beautiful radio FIP Metz disappeared ten years ago exactly, a victim of the Blue Plan Jean-Marie Cavada, who endowed the place of an antenna France Bleu Lorraine North so very, very least ... oh ... Do not shoot the ambulance: the local staff (part of which comes from additional FIP and lived a chaotic transition ... ) does what he can with the specification France Bleu.
But to say how we fell down, was now law, in particular, a horoscope (an HO-ROS-COPE !) And the evening show hair-cell formatted to nibble market share to Radio Nostalgie, The Compil ' Auditors, whose credo is very crisp:
Interactivity on the cheap, you can see, it is not at all the same audience that is targeted, but on the strength of squint tested recipes for competition, it works in the ratings, apparently.
FIP And there? FIP is still, thankfully, in Paris and a handful of large cities. In Metz, the absence of DAB, we can always fall back on streaming. This is handy at home, much less by car (and yes I even tested the 3G streaming transmitted on the system Blue tooth car audio, is to say), but better than nothing.

You who ride, who you work, and you who live at night, from 21h, Evelyne Adam gives you carte blanche.Note: it is the same house, Radio France, which has kicked out late Macha Beranger and his "Sleepless" and the excellent Hello Planet Eric Lange last year . Also, their free hand, I want to say loudly, loudly, they can make it curl rather that pass and repass the same worn-out hits for years.

How To Fix A Blue Waffle
(Message of the past, an old HTML site while tag soup, November 23, 1999)
cocktail FIP as good preparation is the result of a proven recipe, dosing carefully studied. From its original objective, the music rubs so brief information on road traffic.
But this is obviously not for his flash-info that the infatuated lover of FIP. For those who did not (or more) the chance to receive FIP, a minute detail these ingredients ...

cocktail FIP as good preparation is the result of a proven recipe, dosing carefully studied. From its original objective, the music rubs so brief information on road traffic.
But this is obviously not for his flash-info that the infatuated lover of FIP. For those who did not (or more) the chance to receive FIP, a minute detail these ingredients ...
Voice
In FIP, the voice is a more carefully chosen that it occurs rarely. Indeed, apart from flashes of background, taken with their presenter on France-Info scheduled every hour on average, we speak very little about FIP. The famous sweet voice of Fipettes provide the very utilitarian point "information traffic" (a hilarious skit playing on the difference between these voices and congestion Place de Clichy is sometimes released!) ... And the ads for cultural: exhibitions, concerts, the station is in direct contact with the local news. Apart from that, no chitchat on FIP. Specificity rather unique nationally, it should be emphasized. we said, is "casting" a very specific voice FIP who made their fame: sometimes sensual, sometimes mischievous. Never neutral nor impersonal: all recognizable. The only time they allow themselves to rant, it was during the only regular program, FIP Jazz (daily at 19:30), led from Paris. But when you call a station FIP Province, either to attend a game, or request information on a title released (see below), yes, yes, it is a Fipette, fresh and relaxed who answered !
Here the concept of community radio is not misused. I would add, a radio man. Here, we do not give you time to the nearest second, tops sound support: no, you said "in a few moments, he will ..." As you answer, basically, the neighbor asked about the subject ...
The Programming
There is so much to say about the music program FIP! We saw most of the piece is left to the music, nothing that music. And what music! programming responds to effect a basic specification rather strange, since originally intended "to Parisians stuck in traffic." Which, under the public service which is that FIP could let fear drifts frankly soothing, even soporific ... It is not!
Based in Paris (which often cringe at those who shout "false close" FIP), are in effect nine programmers (trice) Experienced (s) who take turns to cook up some kind of journey still living and subtly coded itinerary. Some bias is evident as the distribution of selected titles. In 1993, Telerama illustrated thus: "15% of classical, jazz 25%, 35% of foreign songs from any country-all kinds-all ages, 15% of French songs, 5% of film music, 5 % of folklore ". Admit that compliance with these percentages is irrelevant, is the richness of the "bouquet" proposed or dusty, or outrageously " jeuniste "which carries the vote.
Another trait obvious: except in the case of" Selections FIP "weekly, it never shows the shares offered on FIP. What could pass for a disadvantage is not really one: the trouble to listen to while waiting for a hypothetical ad! For references to a title released, a simple phone call to the local station FIP enough (even long after, since Just note the date and time of broadcast).
But there are implicit rules, which reveal themselves only over time, and who bring salt from the experience. Indeed, it is not uncommon that two adjacent titles and seemingly unrelated hiding in fact a subtle relationship, whether the participation of a musician in two pieces, or a pun in their titles, eg . Variations abound. A real pleasure, you're told ...
And finally, in the case of varieties "current" FIP is never limited to promoting the current single . Instead ! The emphasis seems to be rather on the discovery of other songs on the album. Public service par excellence: it is far from the commercial onslaught raging elsewhere ...
All this (no ads, thematic programming ...) combine to give the impression to the listener to actually be connected to a compact disc giant. In fact, it happened to me of not knowing whether or not, then I had this song on CD, to be heard from time to PIF! Not to mention the discoveries spare programmers : We let ourselves be taken by hand by a series of pieces known to find themselves titillated, intrigued and attracted by the novelty that it connects beautifully. Personally, I lost count of the artists that I'm interested in doing so. PIF accomplishes the challenge of achieving both relax and educate (in music, I mean).
For all that, the least I can say is: thank you ... FIP
