Radio Nizza from Milano on Medium Waves 1575 KHz

Selected productions from Radio Nizza dedicated to news, culture, and the event calendar of the French Riviera are now available on Centrale Milano via streaming and medium wave, thanks to an agreement between the broadcasters: let’s see what it’s all about.

Occitania
Once upon a time, there was Occitania, a vast region stretching from Turin to Catalonia, passing through the Principality of Monaco… and Nice. The language was (somewhat) common, but certainly – as we know from direct experience – the peoples were far more mélangé, mixed, than the labels “French” and “Italian” would suggest today.

For this reason, when we interviewed the publisher of Centrale Milano, we immediately thought of combining some original productions, offering them in a staggered schedule on their respective streaming platforms and on Centrale Milano’s medium wave (1575 KHz). Here is the related press release.

Centrale Milano and Radio Nizza talk about culture
In November, an agreement was finalized between Radio Nizza, a media outlet that publishes the only Italian-language news website dedicated to the French Riviera, a streaming broadcaster, and five podcast channels, and Centrale Milano, a station that broadcasts the best music of all time, prioritizing country, pop, and rock genres, while giving ample space to independent music, radio dramas, and other “non-mainstream” content.

Here is the list of selected programs, with their respective broadcast schedules.

The French Touch
Produced and hosted by Arturo Bolognini for over a year, the program explores musical “crossovers” between Italy and France. Each episode focuses on an artist, a song, or a musical genre that has had a significant impact in both nations. The episode airing in the second week of November, for example, tells the story of how Michel Fugain’s Une belle histoire became Un’estate fa in Italian, written by Franco Califano but performed over the years by various artists, becoming a timeless classic.

Broadcast on Radio Nizza during the week at 10:30 AM, 6:30 PM, and 9:30 PM

Audio Visione

Jazz Train
Finally, Jazztrain is an extraordinary musical program hosted by the talented Francesco Sciarretta, a connoisseur of sound who masterfully curates an eclectic and captivating listening experience. While deeply rooted in the rich, soulful world of jazz, Jazztrain transcends traditional boundaries, venturing boldly into realms of electronic music, ethnic sounds, and other innovative genres. This program is a vibrant celebration of musical diversity, blending the improvisational spirit of jazz with global influences and cutting-edge sonic explorations.

Each episode of Jazztrain is a meticulously crafted journey, where Francesco Sciarretta showcases his impeccable taste and profound understanding of music’s universal language. Listeners are treated to a dynamic fusion of classic jazz standards—think the smoky sophistication of Miles Davis or the intricate harmonies of Thelonious Monk—interwoven with pulsating electronic beats that evoke the modernity of artists like Flying Lotus or Bonobo. The program’s brilliance lies in its fearless exploration of ethnic music, incorporating rhythmic textures from African, Latin, or Middle Eastern traditions, creating a soundscape that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.

Broadcast on Radio Nizza, Centrale Milano and a syndacation of DAB stations, Jazztrain invites its audience to embark on a sonic voyage that celebrates the boundless possibilities of music. Francesco Sciarretta’s curatorial genius and passion for genre-defying sounds make this program a must-listen for anyone who craves innovation, cultural richness, and the sheer joy of musical discovery.

Jazz Train is scheduled to air on Radio Nizza at 11:59 PM on Saturday and Sunday and at 6 PM on Friday and Saturday. On Centrale Milano 1575 KHz it airs on Tuesday at 11:30 PM and Wednesday at midnight.
