Is French from WUST Washington ?

S

Steve_Green

Loud French on 1120 (news/talk with a little music) this Saturday morning here at 8:30. We were on our way out and couldn't ID it. Don't want to wait until next Saturday morning for an ID, hi.

Canada lists no 1120 stations at all, let alone a clue from Quebec. And this was pretty loud at times.

From my largely negligent/ignorant days from the 'old neighborhood' -- part both ancestries -- the French sounded European instead of Canadian. There's a difference. Since I doubt the metro Capital Area has any discernable French-Canadian population (like, for example, New Hampshire has) I'm suspecting that this wasn't a DX goodie.

Can anyone here help? The WUST page doesn't offer too much for scheduling, let alone for that of weekend mornings .....
 
FWIW, the Wikipedia page says they air programming from RFI Monday through Saturday from 7 to 9 AM.
 
I don't know the difference between the European French and the Canadian French, but, I think you heard WUST. It does brokered foreign language programming and it's a daytimer.

The difference is sizeable. Which is why a good chunk of Francophone Quebeckers, dislike 'parisian' French, almost as much as English. :p

Go to the 'audio-on-demand' section of the WUST website (http://www.wust1120.com/WUST/AudioOnDemand.html) and you'll see the schedule for the RFI programming there.
