The small associative radio station in Limoges (Haute-Vienne) RTF has eight days to rename its program.
Entitled "Instant Live", it would enter into direct competition with national radio NRJ, which also offers a program of the same name.
The local radio would have received a formal notice from the lawyer of NRJ, reports

.
A “sad and ridiculous” approach
But according to Jean-François Biardaux, the president of RTF, several radios would use this title for their programs.
Even if the latter says he is forced to respond to NRJ's request, he expresses his anger at an action he considers disproportionate to the size of his radio.
“How can we imagine that a small radio station like ours, employing one employee, two civic services and 60 volunteers, can objectively compete with NRJ?
“, he asks the daily.
An approach deemed "sad and ridiculous" by the host of the Limoges program, Walter Fernandes, who admitted not being aware that NRJ was programming a program with a similar title.
