Radio station in Besancon
Radio BIP
is a French local and associative
FM broadcasting
station, active in
Besancon
and
Bourgogne-Franche-Comte
.
[1]
[2]
[3]
The acronym BIP stands for
Bisontine
, Independante et Populaire
, meaning "
Bisontine
, independent and popular".
[1]
After originally operating as a
pirate radio
station from 1977 to 1978, it was refounded in 1981 as a "free radio".
[1]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
In 2022 it was still characterized by a total independence, the refusal of
advertisement
, and an important spot for politics and associations.
[1]
Since 2015, its staff developed video and text channels in association with
Media 25
.
[1]
It become a reference of
social movement
and
underground culture
, at the beginning of many cases during
El Khomri law
or
Yellow vests
.
[1]
Pirate and free radio
[
edit
]
Radio BIP was created in 1977 under the name of
Radio 25
,
[1]
[7]
by the
alter-globalization
activist Jean-Jacques Boy.
[1]
[3]
[8]
[9]
[10]
[7]
It emitted as a
pirate radio
[1]
[4]
from the apartment of Henri Lombardi, another founder who lives in a tower of
the 408
.
[1]
[3]
[11]
[2]
[7]
Reaching a dozen of listeners at its beginnings,
radio 25
was then part of the national and international context of the
1970s
claiming greater freedom of expression and the end of the
state monopoly
in the field of radio and television.
[1]
·
[7]
It became one of the clandestine radio stations most watched by the
DGSI
in
Franche-Comte
, as revealed by informations notes stored in the
departmental archives of Doubs
.
[1]
[7]
After only a few months of existence, volunteers were arrested, equipment is seized, and those responsible are sent to court.
[5]
[6]
[7]
[1]
[3]
In 1980, four hosts were sentenced by the Besancon court for "clandestine broadcasting", receiving a suspended fine of 5,000 francs.
[12]
The base and supporters that made up
Radio 25
meet up in 1981 with the liberalization of the airwaves, and refounded a "free radio" on 3 June 1981 under the name of
radio BIP
[3]
[11]
[2]
[7]
(for
Bisontine
, Independante et Populaire
, meaning "
Bisontine
, independent and popular"). In 1983, the new association moved to
14 rue de la Viotte
in
Chaprais
near the
Besancon-Viotte station
, a site which is still its headquarters today.
[1]
[3]
During the
1980s
,
1990s
and
2000s
,
radio BIP
continues its activities despite financial difficulties.

Recent developments
[
edit
]
In 2015
radio BIP
evolved into multi-channel:
[1]
[13]
[7]
audio with its radio frequency (96.9 FM), written with the development of the site dedicated to local news as well as the provision of podcasts and FM, and also video under the name of
Media 25
with a prominent place in direct. This evolution also corresponded to a period of revival and radicalization of social and political movements in France, in particular since strikes and demonstrations against
El Khomri law
and
Nuit debout
.
[14]
This approach continued fully during the
yellow vests movement
, when
radio BIP
documented cases of
police brutalities
in January 2019,
[15]
[16]
March 2019,
[17]
[18]
[19]
July 2019,
[20]
November 2019
[21]
and January 2020.
[22]
[23]
[24]
[25]
[26]
In April 2019 during a demonstration, a journalist is assaulted by a drunken passer-by who threatens and hits him; while a colleague defended him, they were arrested and prosecuted for "violence".
[27]
[28]
[29]
This situation has led to strong protests from organizations and personalities,
[30]
[31]
[32]
like
Edwy Plenel
,
Denis Robert
,
Barbara Romagnan
,
Marie-Guite Dufay
,
Dominique Vidal
,
LDH
,
FSU
,
FO
,
CGT
,
EELV
...
Radio BIP
is also known for his investigations about
far-right, nationalist, and neo-Nazi movements
. During a violent racist attack on 31 January 2021, it allowed us to retrace the author's journey within the
Front Comtois
and
Azov Battalion
.
[33]
During demonstration against health policies of
COVID-19
, a journalist of the radio was hit by a member of
Terre et Peuple
.
[34]
[35]
Since this time, the association has been regularly targeted by collages of stickers, degradations, and harassment on social networks.
