Radio station
Chérie FM is a French radio station created in 1987 and belongs to the NRJ Group.
Chérie FM was established in 1987 in Paris by media executive Jean-Paul Baudecroux on the former frequency of the now-defunct station Gilda la Radiopolitaine. In 1989, Chérie FM began broadcasting nationally after the NRJ Group acquired the frequencies of Pacific FM.[1] Most of Pacific FM’s regional frequencies were reallocated to Chérie FM, while the Paris frequency was used to launch a separate station, Rire & Chansons.
In 1992, the NRJ Group expanded the brand internationally by launching Chérie FM Belgique in Belgium, targeting French-speaking audiences in Wallonia and Brussels. The Belgian version ceased operations in May 2008 after 16 years on air.[2][3]
On 12 December 2012, the NRJ Group launched a television counterpart to the radio station, named Chérie 25. The channel broadcasts in France via Télévision Numérique Terrestre (TNT) in high definition. While sharing the brand identity and target demographic—primarily women—with Chérie FM, Chérie 25 features a distinct programming lineup that includes talk shows, documentaries, entertainment segments, television series, and films.
