Radio Nova is a Parisian radio station founded in 1981 by Jean-François Bizot. Known for its eclectic musical programming, Nova showcases a diverse range of genres including electro, new wave, reggae, jazz, hip hop, and world music. The station has been a platform for many well-known Parisian personalities, including Ariel Wizman, Edouard Baer, and Jamel Debbouze.

Throughout its history, Radio Nova has adapted its musical focus, shifting from world music in the mid-1980s to include reggae, funk, and rap by the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, the station embraced acid jazz and French rap, and by 1999, it was featuring ambient, chill-out, and jungle music.

Today, Radio Nova continues to be a hub for musical discovery and innovation. Its programming includes shows like "Nova Club" hosted by David Blot, which explores cutting-edge musical trends. The station also features news, cultural content, and various themed programs throughout the week, maintaining its reputation as a tastemaker in the Parisian music scene.
