Background
Kantara and Mediterradio are two radio co-productions developed in the framework of the activities of COPEAM Radio Commission. At a time when the city of Marseille aims to stress its position as Mediterranean capital, come and discover the existing bridges between media players and listeners in the Mediterranean Region. Find out two unique radio programs in terms of ambition, sustainability and broadcasting base and get in touch with possible partners to relay your action throughout the Mediterranean basin.
Kantara – The Magazine of the two shores of the Mediterranean.
Unique in terms of international cooperation, Kantara will launch its 23rd season from Marseille … A radio journey around the Mediterranean basin made possible by the joining together of several public service radios and their commitment to become the echo of a common and shared space.
A magazine which, every week, brings together a transnational audience around reports and guests from both shores of the Mediterranean, allowing listeners from the 6 partner countries to learn and exchange in a constructive environment and in a context of mutual knowledge.
Born in Corsica in 1999 at the initiative of Pierre Mari of France Bleu RCFM and in association with the Moroccan public radio Chaîne Inter, Kantara has been able over the years to adapt to changes in the profession and in the regional context, thanks to a shared know-how, a joint will of cooperation and a common writing proficiency.
Today, it has become a consolidated and unmissable event which, thanks to the support of COPEAM, gathers France Bleu RCFM (France), Chaîne Inter (Morocco), Radio Le Caire (Egypt), RTCI (Tunisia), Radio Liban 96.2 and the Radio Exterior de España.
