TSF Jazz, previously known as TSF 89.9, is a radio station based at Paris (France) created in 1999 and owned by Nova Press.
TSF is dedicated to mainly jazz music, and is most notably broadcasting in the Île-de-France: in Paris on 89.9 FM where it can almost be heard in the whole region, and also in the Côte d'Azur: with frequencies in Nice and Cannes. TSF, the acronym of the station, stands for Télégraphie Sans Fil and literally means Wireless Telegraphy, which is phrase that during part of the twentieth century in France, meant what now is simply called radio.
In 1981, TSF Jazz was, originally created in Seine-Saint-Denis as a talk, sports, music and local info station, then as « TSF-93 » established by elected Socialist Party members and the French Communist Party, and transmitted from Romainville.
In 1990, the radio station fusioned with the communist radio stations of every department in Île-de-France including TSF Paris : Radio Top Essonne, 92 Radio, Radio Soleil 94 and TSF Colline 95 to rename all those stations to simply « TSF ».
From 1993, TSF brings together several local radio stations in France: Forum 91,3 in Bordeaux, Agora FM in Grasse, Loire FM from Saint-Étienne and four other local stations known as « TSF » in Cognac, Lyon, Nérac, and Nice in addition to TSF Paris, TSF then changes its Parisian frequency from 93.0 FM to 89.9, it is also on this frequency that, TSF Jazz in Paris is still broadcasting.
