AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision renews Radio Scoop's authorization to broadcast on FM for five more years, starting on 27 October 2026. It confirms the frequencies and technical limits the station must follow in the Bourg-en-Bresse and Lyon areas, including power levels, antenna sites, and coverage restrictions. For the operator, the main impact is continued permission to use the listed frequencies, but only while technical conditions are met and international coordination issues are resolved. The station must also provide technical details and interference-related measurements to ARCOM when asked, and any use of a subcarrier needs ARCOM approval.
