History

Building on the fame of Radio Monte Carlo (RMC), the radio started broadcasting in 1972 as RMC Moyen-Orient, and was created by Sofirad.

At the end of 1996, Sofirad sold RMC Moyen-Orient to Radio France Internationale (itself owned by the French government). RMC Moyen-Orient changed its name to Monte Carlo Doualiya (MCD) in 2007.
