Le Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel invite l’ensemble des opérateurs, à fêter les 100ans de la Radio en France, et les quarante ans des Radios libres. TDF est propriétaire du site historique, ancien émetteur ondes moyennes et ondes courtes de Muret. Ce centre émetteur a été le deuxième après PARIS Tour Effel, créé par l’état français, afin de concurrencer les radios privées, il a été inauguré en 1936.

L’EMETTEUR DE MURET, UN SYMBOLE !

Reconnaissable par son pylône balisé, de plus d’une centaine de mètres il apparait auprès des Muretains, comme un véritable témoinde la formidable histoire radiophonique d’Occitanie, sous le nom de TOULOUSEPYRENEES concurrente du poste privé Toulousain RADIO TOULOUSE.
Ces émetteurs en ondes courtes, permettaient également de porter la voix de la France au-delà de notre pays.
Pyrénées FM, Radio Axe Sud et la Mairie de Muret.
Le projet est né après une longue réflexion entre Pyrénées FM, Radio Axe Sud et la Mairie de Muret sur lequel est implanté l’émetteur historique TDF.

• PYRENEES FM couvre une bonne partie de l’Occitanie, des Pyrénées, de l’Andorre, de la Cerdagne, de la ville de Toulouse en DAB+ et prochainement Pau, Bayonne et Perpignan étendu. Cette zone correspond en très grande partie à la couverture de l’ancienne TOULOUSE PYRENEES.
• RADIO AXE SUD est la seule radio implantée dans la ville de Muret, sa zone de couverture s’étend jusqu’aux portes de Toulouse, elle est donc légitime pour participer à cette manifestation.
• La COMMUNE de MURETde par l’implantation historique de cet émetteur sur son territoire, reste le symbole de la naissance de la Radio d’état en Occitanie.

LE PROJET

L’objectif est de créer une journée évènementielle sur le site TDF de Muret qui renferme encore une grande partie des anciennes installations Ondes Moyennes.
Le thème principal sera l’histoire de La Radio dans le temps, et plus particulièrement l’histoire et la vie de l’émetteur de Muret à son époque de fonctionnement.
L’idée sera d’évoquer également la fabuleuse histoire des grandes Radios disparues telles que Radio Andorre et Radio Toulouse.
La date de cet évènement est prévue le Vendredi 25 Juin 2021 à partir de 9h30.
Il est prévu d’inviter de nombreuses personnalités, élus, représentants du CSA, responsables de fédérations de Radio, l’ensemble des Radios locales de la Région Occitanie, associations culturelles, écoles de journalisme, acteurs touristiques et économiques.
Cette liste n’étant pas exhaustive.
Les invités se succèderont autour d’un plateau Radio, animé par Marc Mollier et
René Girma.
