BlackBox is a local Frenchradio station broadcasting to Bordeaux and Arcachon, created in 1991 and owned by Groupe 1981. The station plays hip-hop music and R&B from the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
BlackBox was created in 1981 broadcasting African and urban music in the Bordeaux area for the Afro-Caribbean community. Two previous stations specializing in African and Caribbean music, Equinoxe and Caraïbes FM, had closed in the late 1980s.[1] The station continued to have one frequency, despite multiple attempts at expansion,[1] until the mid-2010s when its application for Arcachon was granted.
In 1998, the Orleans-based group Start (name changed to Groupe 1981 in 2013) bought BlackBox. Start provided an infusion of resources that aided BlackBox's success.[1] and transformed it into a commercial music station in hip-hop and R&B format. The format is similar to Groupe 1981-owned Ado FM.
