Bretagne 5 soon on 1593 kHz?

The first step towards a new AM station? After six months, the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel has just published the result of a public survey which was established on March 19, 2013 as a foundation for an application of MW radio in Ile-de-France, Aquitaine and Bretagne. At the moment, although no definite date has been set for the application, it is a step forward for the MW transmissions of Bretagne 5. The board of the station will now be asking the CSA to set a date for further discussions about establishing a MW station in our region. (Bretagne 5 via Bengt Ericson, ARC)
