How does NEXUS-IBA work?

If you’ve heard us on the air during the last 30+ years, you know our motto:

You provide the content, and we provide all technical means to bring your own content and your own program to your audience worldwide.

It’s your content, and it’s your audience (not ours), and we proudly take care of everything to ensure your mission and broadcast are a success. Indeed, we also broadcast all programs unabridged, without modification, as they are. This is why we are a different radio or TV station. Our original name was Italian Radio Relay Service (now known as Irish Radio Relay Service). Since 1979, we have been the first organisation to provide this kind of service. We are, in fact, a relay station!

We provide free counselling to help you get on the air quickly and fully manage our technical infrastructure. Thus, you do not need to be proficient in broadcast licensing, transmitter operation, maintenance, time, frequency, and antenna selection and management.

Over many years, we have helped numerous small and large organisations go on air, secular and Christian, starting with straightforward equipment, such as a home tape recorder or a home computer with a microphone, knowing that we handle the rest to bring your program to your audience anywhere in the world.

We’ll gladly help your mission, organisation, or individual program producer get on the air quickly and reach your desired target. Email, call, or contact us.
