Description
Réunion La 1ère is the France Télévisions public service station for Réunion, one of the ten territorial stations of the Outre-mer La 1ère network, and it runs a full local radio service alongside its television output. Its radio schedule is built around a morning show, a long interactive mid-morning and midday sequence, daily service items and a weekend strand of heritage, cookery and culture programmes, almost all of them made on the island and many of them titled in Réunion Creole. It publishes its own Réunion contact page with a dedicated radio newsroom address and a Saint-Denis postal address, separate from the network portal's general contact.

Artists
not published. The station has music strands ("Lambians la Réunion", "Musique Lontan") but there is no playlist, song history or now-playing display anywhere on its pages, so I have no record of what it actually plays.

Contact route
yes, with a Réunion-specific page rather than a network one. The station publishes a dedicated email address for the radio newsroom, a separate email for sending in news pictures, a Réunion switchboard telephone number given twice on the page, and its Saint-Denis postal address. It links its own X, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram accounts, offers a newsletter, and publishes a studio call-in number inside the description of its daily phone-in "Kozman 1ère". A separate advertising contact is given for the Outre-mer sales arm.

Era
not applicable. This is a speech-led generalist service; its music strands are by theme ("Musique Lontan" for older local repertoire) rather than by decade.

Music
public service generalist radio. News and current affairs, daily service announcements, interactive listener phone-ins, expert advice, sport, food and nutrition, heritage, music and local culture.

Language
French with substantial Réunion Creole. The programme descriptions and news output are in French; the programme titles are overwhelmingly Creole ("Gran Matin", "I parl pu d'sa", "Oté Gran mèr", "Samèm La Rényon", "Lé Klèr & Net dans l'assiette", "Lambians la Réunion", "Patrimoine nout péi", "Savoir-faire péi", "Zarboutan", "Kozman 1ère", "Les Coloc' Ater'"), and one programme blurb on the schedule page is written in Creole itself, including the phrase "anlériz nout lang rényoné". So the service is French-language with Creole used on air as a working language, not merely as decoration. The unset language field should be set to French; Réunion Creole has ISO 639-3 code rcf if the catalogue ever needs to record the second language.

Kind
live and presented local public service radio, with daily phone-ins, a named live morning team, and a replay and podcast catalogue of its own programmes. The site also publishes a rolling "Direct" block showing what is on air now.

Worth knowing
the station's daily death announcements, "Avis de décès - Réunion", are broadcast four times a day at fixed times and are given their own entry in the radio schedule. That is a service item with no equivalent in the rest of this batch, and it is the single clearest sign this is a station embedded in its island's daily life rather than a national relay.

Where
Saint-Denis, Réunion. The station's own contact page gives its postal address as "Réunion la 1ère, 12 rue René Demarne - BP 47716, 97804 Saint-Denis Cedex 9" and its switchboard as a Réunion landline. No FM frequency is published anywhere on the site; see the withheld note.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| language code |
fr
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The language field is unset and the station's own radio schedule page at https://la1ere.franceinfo.fr/reunion/programme-audio/ settles it: every programme description, the news output, the service announcements and the station's own contact page at https://la1ere.franceinfo.fr/reunion/contact.html are written in French, and this is a France Télévisions public service station. Recorded as French rather than left blank. The station also uses Réunion Creole on air, and substantially: most of its programme titles are Creole ("Gran Matin", "I parl pu d'sa", "Oté Gran mèr", "Samèm La Rényon", "Lambians la Réunion", "Patrimoine nout péi", "Savoir-faire péi", "Kozman 1ère", "Les Coloc' Ater'"), and one programme blurb on that page is itself written in Creole, including the phrase "anlériz nout lang rényoné". If the catalogue can hold a second language for a station, the correct code for Réunion Creole is rcf (ISO 639-3); it is not a variant of fr and should not be filed as one. French is given here as the single code because it is the service language of the station's own published output. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| "Face aux Outre-mer", presented by Serge Massau, which appears in the Réunion radio listing | the site's own blurb calls it "Un podcast d'Outre-mer la 1ère", a network production covering the overseas territories as a whole. It is offered on Réunion's page but it is not Réunion's own radio output.
source |
| "Connect 1ère" with Pascal Riso | a network technology strand carried across the La 1ère stations, not presented as Réunion's own.
source |
| "Le non de Fanon" by Aude-Emilie Judaïque, with Guillaume Girault and Forbon N'Zakimuena credited | its own blurb names it "Une production wave. audio pour France télévisions Outre-mer La 1ère", about a Martinican subject. A commissioned network podcast, not Réunion radio.
source |
| "Top Courses", the daily racing tips item | the page does not say whether it is Réunion's own or a network item, and I could not establish it either way, so I left it out rather than guess.
source |
| national franceinfo presenters and programmes reachable from the same portal header | the header carries franceinfo's national TV, radio and live links on every page, and none of that is Réunion's output. This was the specific trap flagged for this station and it is real: the portal's chrome is national, only the /reunion/ content is the station's.
source |
| a single airtime for "Lambians la Réunion" stated without qualification | the programme's own description says "le dimanche à 10H", while the live "Direct" block on the same page showed it running "De 15h00 à 16h00" when I read the page on a Saturday. Two parts of the same page disagree; I published the schedule description and am recording the conflict.
source |
| the Réunion studio call-in and switchboard numbers themselves | the brief forbids copying actual numbers into this file. Their existence is recorded above.
source |
| any FM frequency for this station | the site publishes none. Not on the Réunion radio page, not on the Réunion contact page, not on the network contact page. I would have had to take it from a directory, which is forbidden here and would in any case be unverifiable.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
