Association of European Radios Representing Commercial Broadcasters

Description

The Association of European Radios (AER) is a trade organization representing thousands of private and commercial radio stations across Europe. It advocates for the interests of commercially-funded radio broadcasting within the European Union.

AER promotes a sustainable economic framework for commercial radio, which is primarily funded by advertising and provides a trusted mix of music, news, entertainment, and talk to large audiences. The association also addresses the evolving audio market, including streaming services, podcasts, and online platforms.

Typical users include commercial radio broadcasters, industry stakeholders, and policymakers focused on European radio and audio media. AER is based in Brussels and acts as the voice of commercial radio at the EU level, supporting the sector through regulatory and technological changes.
