France Bleu Breizh Izel

Due to the changes, a new local station began broadcasting in Lower Brittany: Radio Bretagne Ouest.

Since 2009, the station has been called France Bleu Breizh Izel, a name using the unified spelling of Breton.

In August, the station lost its broadcasting rights for the local Stade Brestois football team "until further notice".

The station's director Gurvan Musset said: "Our radio is accused of having wanted to tarnish the image of the club, despite the facts.

[11] Each week, ici Breizh Izel broadcasts around twenty hours of programs in the Breton language:[12] Daily: three 5-minute news bulletins 5 in the morning and one 7-minute newspaper at 7 p.m. Monday to Friday 5: The Hentoù treuz program, from half an hour to midday, presented by Manu Mehu; The evening program Breizh storming, two hours in the evening, presented by Clément Soubigou; Le p'tit cours de breton, two morning chronicles presented by Clément Soubigou; Saturday and Sunday: the program Breizh O Pluriel, three hours in the afternoon.

The ici Breizh Izel website streams the radio station live and provides podcasts downloads of most of the programs broadcast.

[14][15] Since 10 December 2019 the ici Matin Breizh Izel program has been broadcast Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. on television thanks to France 3 Bretagne in Finistère only.
