RNA - Italian Association of National Radio Stations

Description

RNA (Radio Nazionali Associate) is the Italian trade association for national private radio broadcasters. Founded in 1986, it represents the sector in discussions with institutions, government bodies, and European organizations.

The association focuses on supporting the development of private radio in Italy, with attention to program quality, audience reach, and the reliability of the medium. It also promotes the growth of digital terrestrial radio technologies.

RNA has been involved in initiatives related to DAB+ and helped promote the first Italian consortium for digital radio experimentation, DAB Italia. It also took part in the creation of the international forum for digital audio broadcasting.

Its work is centered on the national radio industry in Italy, while also connecting with broader international efforts around digital radio standards and implementation.
