radiodiffusere

Radiodiffusore is a term used in Italian to denote a broadcaster—a person or organization that transmits radio programs to the public. A radiodiffusore may operate a radio station and/or manage a network of stations and affiliated services. The core function is to select, produce or acquire program content, schedule it for transmission, and ensure delivery to audiences through one or more transmission paths. Traditionally this has been done on AM or FM bands, but modern radiodiffusori also use digital radio (DAB/DAB+) and internet streaming, satellite distribution, and on-demand platforms. Radiodiffusori may own transmission infrastructure or contract with external networks and service providers.

Broadcast activities are typically regulated and licensed by national authorities. Licensing governs frequency rights, transmitter power, coverage area, content rules, advertising limits, and emergency alert obligations. Compliance with copyright, decency, and political broadcasting laws is also required.

Radiodiffusori can be public service broadcasters, commercial operators, or community stations. They may be part of larger media groups or operate as independent entities. The term is common in Italian-language media discourse, and cognates exist in other languages (for example radiodiffuseur in French).
