Radio KerneRadio Kerne

It has been on FM in Finistère since 1998, entirely in Breton, reaching from the edge of Lorient to Brest on 90.2, 92.0 and 97.5, with DAB+ added at Quimper and Quimperlé at the end of 2025. Membership is the whole structure: anyone can join, make a programme, work the desk or suggest someone worth interviewing. A second studio opened in Rennes in 2021, and the offshoot Radio Naoned has carried the language into Loire-Atlantique since 2019, the only one there doing it.

More than fifty hours a week are made in the language — news, reportage, chronicles, documentaries — and most of it is swapped or co-produced with the other Breton-language stations, Arvorig FM, Radio Kreiz Breizh, Radio Bro Gwened and Naoned. The music puts Breton artists first without shutting the door: kan ha diskan and fest-noz sets one hour, German post-punk or Indonesian soul the next.
