Our internet radio station service provider does not place any advertising on internet radio streams. Our service simply provides access to the streams exactly as they are broadcast by the radio station itself, without any modifications or interruptions.
If you are hearing advertising it is likely the result of IP targeting. Many radio stations, including Radio France, use this technology to deliver location-specific advertising. This means that rather than hearing adverts intended for listeners in France, for example, the station detects your IP address and plays advertising relevant to your current location.
Would I hear different adverts if I were in another country?
Yes. If you were listening to a French radio station from Brazil, for example, you would likely hear Brazilian adverts instead. This is a common practice among broadcasters to ensure advertising is relevant to their listeners.
Who is responsible for the advertising I hear?
The adverts are inserted by the radio station itself, not by ourselves or our internet radio station service provider, or any other service provider. The stream is delivered to your device untouched, exactly as the station broadcasts it.
Can I disable these location-based adverts?
The ability to disable targeted advertising depends entirely on the radio station’s policies and settings. Some users choose to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to change their apparent location, but this is a personal choice and not something controlled by ourselves or our internet radio station service provider.
If you have any concerns about the advertising content, we recommend reaching out directly to the radio station for further clarification.
