La Première (French pronunciation: [la pʁəmjɛʁ], "The First") is a national French-language radio channel produced by the Belgian public broadcasting organization Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF).

It is a "generalist" station carrying a wide range of principally spoken-word and information-based programming, and is RTBF's main radio news channel.

It is broadcast on FM, and digital (DAB and DVB-T), as well as being streamed on the internet. It has been announced that the Medium Wave service on 621 kHz from the Wavre transmitter has already ceased on 31 December 2018.

History

The radio station was first launched on 24th November 1923 at 11am (CET) under the ownership of the Société Belge Radio-électrique (SBR) called Radio Belgique, until it was acquired by the state-run Belgian National Broadcasting Institute (INR/NIR) in 1930.
