🇬🇧 English

The French audiovisual regulator (Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel) has formally repealed its earlier Decision No. 2021-301 dated 10 March 2021. That original decision had granted the non-profit association Playloud Flandres-Maritime an authorization to operate a Category A local radio station named Playloud Littoral using digital terrestrial (DAB+) transmission in the Dunkirk broadcasting zone. The new Decision No. 2026-115, dated 18 March 2026 and published on 31 March 2026, completely withdraws that authorization with immediate legal effect. The regulator provides no detailed reasons in the text itself. The decision is formally notified to the association and to the SCIC SARL La Coopérative de Radiodiffusion, and will appear in the Journal officiel de la République française.
