France Bleu Périgord is one of the public service radio stations of the France Bleu network. It broadcasts in Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne, though it is accessible to parts of Haute-Vienne on FM. It has its headquarters in Périgueux's regional Departmental Center for Communication, where it has been located since 2004.^[1]

History

The Périgord branch of Radio France opened on 26 October 1982 at 5:45 a.m., under the name Radio Périgord. It became "Radio France Périgord" in 1985.^[1] At the time, it was only the sixth regional radio station in the network (compared to 44 as of 2022); it only had a single transmitter in Bergerac before being assigned a proper frequency on the Limoges - Les Cars transmitter at some point in 1984.^[2] It was folded into the new France Bleu network in 2000.
