History edit

The station began broadcasting on June 16, 2012 from their Djerba studios. Ulysse FM is a private firm created after the Jasmine revolution. Ulysse FM was first granted a provisional licence to broadcast in the governorate of Medenine in August 2011. It was later granted a permanent licence by the HAICA. It broadcasts on 2 frequencies via the National Broadcasting Office (ONT), and streams programmes on its website.[1] It benefits from a UNESCO IPDC59 grant to support illiterate working women in southeast Tunisia, through the Ulysse FM radio programme, "LELLET EL FM".[2]

Moreover, the radio participates, among all the Tunisian media, in the freedom of speech included in the constitution.[3]
