RMC BFM is a French media company, division of CMA CGM.

History

In 2000, the NextRadioTV company was founded by Alain Weill, who was chairman and chief executive officer. In 2021, NextRadioTV was renamed to Altice Média to accentuate the group's multi-media convergence around 5 themes: information, economy, sport, high-tech and discovery.

Four months after announcing that it had reached a deal, Altice completed the sale of its media division in July 2024 to CMA CGM. The company was later renamed RMC BFM.
