[company_age]48.0[/company_age][employees]11-50 employees[/employees][description]Radio Popolare (RP) stands as a pioneering force in the Italian media landscape as the leading independent radio network. Established in 1976 following a pivotal Supreme Court decision that dismantled the state-owned RAI's broadcasting monopoly, RP has consistently championed diverse voices and perspectives. The network's programming caters to a wide audience, encompassing news, entertainment, music, and cultural content. A defining characteristic of RP is its unique financial model, with nearly half of its revenue stemming from voluntary listener contributions, underscoring its deep community support and commitment to independent media. The remaining funding is secured through advertising, ensuring its sustainability. Ownership of RP resides with the Cooperativa Radio Popolare, a collective of employees, journalists, producers, and over 12,000 shareholders, reflecting its cooperative and community-driven ethos.[/description][ps]News, entertainment, music, and cultural radio programming.[/ps]
