Radio Kerne: radio en directo desde Plonéis

Espeeera...

Quitando el polvo a la aguja…

Radio Kerne

No translation offered.

Fest-noz, bagpipes, and the day's news, all in Breton.

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.
