## Tune into the Energy: Exploring the World of NRJ Radio
NRJ, short for *Nouvelle Radio Jeune* (New Young Radio) and pronounced "energy," is a powerhouse in the French music scene. Since its inception in June 1981 by Jean-Paul Baudecroux and Max Guazzini, this privately-owned station has become synonymous with contemporary hits and vibrant energy. Its early days weren't without challenges, but with the support of its godmother, the iconic singer Dalida, NRJ overcame near closure in 1984 and solidified its path to success.
Based in Paris at 22 rue Boileau, NRJ has evolved into the flagship station of the NRJ Group and the foundation for the international NRJ International network. Its primary broadcast focuses on delivering a constant stream of current chart-toppers throughout the day, interspersed with electrifying electronic dance music during select late-night weekend hours. While music reigns supreme, listeners can also tune in for engaging talk programs airing every evening except Saturdays.
