Radio Romania International (RRI), Romania’s radio voice to the world, has dramatically expanded its availability via digital satellite to listeners around the world with the conclusion of an agreement for transmission services with World Radio Network (WRN), the London-based international broadcaster and transmission service provider.

The agreement covers the distribution of RRI’s daily English, French, German and Russian programmes via WRN’s various international news networks. Via WRN, RRI’s programmes can also be heard on local cable services and local AM/FM stations in many countries and as on-demand archived audio files via the WRN website.

Romania International is tasked with informing the world about both the modern, democratic Romania as well as looking at the country’s rich cultural and historical traditions. The daily English programme, produced by a dedicated team of English-speaking journalists, producers and editors at RRI’s headquarters in Bucharest, covers all aspects of life in the country including national and international news, commentaries and special reports focused on Romania and its geographical neighbourhood, all delivered by a broad network of correspondents.

Karl Miosga, WRN’s Managing Director said: “RRI’s programmes will be more widely available to both new and existing listeners around the world in crystal clear digital quality. We hope for a long partnership with RRI and we warmly welcome them to the family of international broadcasters that make up WRN.”

World Radio Network is a member of the AIB.
