This article traces the main events that made it possible to make a subscription for French radio in the West. Because of the support of the Catholic Church and social elites in French Canada as well as representatives of French-speaking communities in the United States, the 1945 subscription was a success. This concerted action is led by the Conseil de la vie française, a central body that serves the cause of French culture in Canada and the United States, as well as by Radio-Ouest-Française, which represents the three western provinces. The sums collected during the subscription are used to finance French radio stations outside Quebec and thus ensure the preservation of French Canadian identity and culture in the West.
