Euranet, (European Radio Network) is a consortium of international, national, regional and local European broadcasters.
History
On the initiative of Deutsche Welle (DW) and Radio France Internationale (RFI), 16 international, national, regional and local European broadcasters from 13 EU countries created a pan-European media consortium on 25 July 2007. This comprises both public and private broadcasters.
The official presentation of the European media consortium Euranet by Margot Wallström, Vice-President of the European Commission, took place on 26 February 2008 in Brussels. In the first year, Euranet programmes were broadcast in the five main languages – German, English, French, Polish and Spanish, as well as five further languages – Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese, Romanian and Hungarian. As of July 2012, Euranet brings together 26 professional radio stations, supplemented by 10 campus radios.
