emisora

Emisora is a feminine noun in Spanish that refers to an entity or device that emits something. The most common sense is in radio broadcasting: una emisora de radio denotes a radio station or broadcasting network that transmits programs to listeners over the airwaves. The term is used for both the organization that operates the station and the technical infrastructure, and it is often paired with the frequency or callsign of the station. It derives from emitir, to emit.

In finance, emisora designates the issuer of securities, such as stocks or bonds. A emisora de valores is responsible for the creation and sale of financial instruments to investors and is subject to regulatory disclosure and reporting requirements. In this context, the masculine form emisor is used in grammatical agreement with the company name, but emisora is commonly used when referencing the entity in feminine form, for example la emisora.

In broader technical or communicative contexts, emisora can refer to a transmitter or a broadcasting apparatus, though more precise terms such as transmisor or antena may be used depending on the context. The term is widely used in Latin American Spanish and, less frequently, in Spain. The word roughly corresponds to the English “emitter” or “issuer,” with usage determined by the domain.
