English Language Programs

This chapter explores selected English-language programs of the Direction des affaires extérieures et de la coopération (DAEC), an affiliate of French broadcasting’s Office de radiodiffusion-télévision française (ORTF). The DAEC supplied historical and cultural radio dramas to U.S. listeners from 1968 until 1973. The DAEC’s dramas used experimental aesthetic techniques and topical provocations to engage a contemporary American audience seeking alternatives to commercial radio. Irreverence, satire, and a willingness to critique French society imbued these exports with a mildly subversive quality rarely heard on U.S.–French radio. DAEC brought non-U.S. radio content to select public stations and marked a final burst of U.S.–French connectivity in the waning days of France’s state broadcast monopoly, which dissolved in 1974.
