France Bleu Toulouse started broadcasting on 23 February 2011 at 6 a.m. after a 2-month delay (it was originally planned to start broadcasting 14 December 2010), after a dispute between local independent radio stations and Radio France for using the 90.5 FM frequency.
On December 12, 2017, the name was changed to France Bleu Occitanie as part of a regional coverage expansion and the opening of a series of new transmitters. The Toulouse frequency was switched from 90.5 to 91.8 MHz, with the CSA granting 90.5 to 100% Radio.[1] That week, three frequencies in Auch, Pamiers and Saint-Gaudens were opened.[2] From 2018, the station slowly enlarged its coverage zone. by broadcasting its programs in the following towns: Albi, Cahors, Carmaux, Castres, Figeac, Mazamet (frequency preemption), Montauban (frequency preemption), Rodez and Villefranche-de-Rouergue.
