Our History: From Local FM to a Global Audience

In 1979, a group of idealistic visionaries founded the NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association to embrace the emerging concept of free radio in Europe, particularly Italy. They pioneered private FM broadcasting in Milan, Italy’s central metropolitan hub, starting as Globe Radio Milan.

By 1988, NEXUS-IBA expanded its international presence with IRRS-Shortwave (the Italian Radio Relay Service), a powerful shortwave outlet that gave our global organisation and members a worldwide voice.

In 1994, NEXUS-IBA embraced the digital revolution, becoming the first European website to offer streaming audio in 1995 and later video streaming via our innovative WorldDirector content distribution technology and global CDN infrastructure.

Building Your World Radio Network

Our programs feature a rich mix of international news and features in English, covering topics such as politics, culture, religion, and global issues like human rights, poverty alleviation, economic development, and peace initiatives. Additionally, we offer programming in Italian, French, Spanish, German, and various African languages, tailored to specific regional audiences in Europe, Africa, Asia/Pacific, and the Middle East.

NEXUS-IBA champions diverse perspectives, encouraging open debate and viewpoints often ignored by local or national media. Our broadcasts transform information into actionable insights by reporting progress, evaluating initiatives, and empowering listeners to explore critical issues.

Reaching Conflict Zones and Censored Regions

Shortwave and AM/Medium Wave radio remain vital for accessing conflict areas, war zones, or regions with strict censorship where government firewalls block independent or Christian media. These platforms offer an unparalleled communication medium to deliver critical information during emergencies and disasters.

The resurgence of shortwave broadcasting stems from its ability to provide uncensored access to news and inspiration worldwide, making it indispensable for audiences in areas with restricted media.

Serving NGOs, Governments, and Independent Producers

Since 1979, NEXUS-IBA has collaborated with leading broadcasters such as VOA, Deutsche Welle, BBC, UNESCO Radio, and many more. We connect media organisations with their global audiences through cutting-edge technology, including internet streaming, satellite broadcasting, and mobile content delivery.

Our solutions cater to diverse needs, from relaying independent programs through our International Public Access Radio (IPAR) service to dedicated Christian channels like European Gospel Radio and All Gospel Radio, streaming 24/7. These channels amplify the voices of ministries worldwide, leveraging Shortwave & AM (Medium-Wave) with streaming to spread the Gospel effectively.

Non-Profit Mission and Dedication to Free Expression

As a non-profit NGO, NEXUS-IBA has upheld its mission since 1988 to provide accessible broadcasting solutions at the lowest possible cost. We remain committed to non-interference in content, fostering diverse programming that spans news, music, religion, philosophy, science, and more.

NEXUS-IBA does not bill or charge for airtime. All contracts, billing, and commercial operations are handled by our partner, Milano Ventures Ltd, based in Dublin, Ireland. We provide free-of-charge technical support and international frequency coordination.

From local FM to a Global audience

In 1979, a few idealistic visionaries laid the groundwork for the NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association. Their goal was to seize the opportunity of the newly emerging concept of free radio in Europe, particularly Italy. Under the name Globe Radio Milan, they were among the first to put a private FM station on the air in Milan, the northern Italian metropolitan city.

In 1988, a powerful shortwave outlet – IRRS-Shortwave (the Italian Radio Relay Service) – was added to give NEXUS-IBA an international radio voice.

Finally, in 1994, Internet services were added, with NEXUS-IBA becoming the first European website to offer – as of 1995 – streaming audio and, later, video streaming services via our global cloud & CDN infrastructure and revolutionary technology for content distribution named WorldDirector.

Our cloud-based webcasting services make it easy to reach and engage your audience wherever they live, work, or play.

We can build your World Radio Network

Our programs consist of a unique mix of international news and feature programs in English. They deal with politics, culture, religion, and global issues related to children, women, human rights, poverty alleviation, law, crime prevention, humanitarian aid, economic development, peace, and security worldwide. In addition, more programmes in other languages (Italian, French, Spanish, German) and local African languages or dialects are beamed to listeners in specific target areas in Europe, Africa, Asia/Pacific and the Middle East.

NEXUS-IBA strives to broadcast diverse views and opinions that reflect the cultural and regional diversity of the countries we serve. We voice criticism and debate by promoting viewpoints and experiences unavailable in local and national media. As part of our efforts to translate what is often news and information into action, we also report on progress, evaluate programs, initiatives, and policies, and encourage listeners to collect information about the issues we cover.

Broadcasting to conflict areas and beyond government firewalls

Shortwave and AM/Medium Wave radio are two of the few communication media that can cover conflict areas worldwide, countries at war, where information is censored, or where government firewalls block independent or Christian media.

Following the invasion of Ukraine on March 11, 2022, Russia announced that it would start disconnecting from the Internet. This process follows Russia’s successful tests for unplugging from the global Internet in 2019. If implemented, it would go beyond blocking foreign websites by potentially isolating the whole country into a private, national Internet with no access to the global Internet, including audio and video streaming and access to foreign media.

According to Wikipedia’s Internet censorship and surveillance list and Reporters Without Borders, Russia and other countries around the world (e.g., China, Cuba, Ethiopia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Iran, Kashmir, Nepal, Bahrain, etc.) are either blocking, monitoring, or censoring the free flow of information over the Internet. In these countries, Satellite radio and TV are often banned or jammed to prevent the reception of foreign media.

Shortwave and long-distance AM or Medium-Wave radio is often the only communication medium to cross any country’s boundaries, and governments impose Internet firewalls. Therefore, it is frequently used in emergencies, disaster relief operations, and humanitarian assistance during wars or natural disasters. In addition, specific frequencies for International Radio for Disaster Relief (IRDR) may be used in emergencies.

Shortwave was very popular in the 1980s, when satellites, the Internet, and Western media were unavailable beyond the Iron Curtain. Today, it is reviving simply because it allows free access to a wide selection of news, information, and inspirational programs worldwide, especially in countries where the government and the foreign press strictly control or censor the media.

Broadcast media services for NGOs, government and individual program producers

Since 1979, our stations have also been relaying programs from major international broadcasters, such as VOA (Voice of America), Deutsche Welle, BBC, Radio Nederland, Swiss Radio International (SRI), Radio China International (CRI), South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), United Nations Radio, UNESCO Radio, Family Radio, La Buona Novella Broadcasts and many others.

Our international broadcasting services enable media companies to connect with their audiences globally.

We provide state-of-the-art International broadcasting & digital media solutions. We are committed to providing effective, creative and instantaneous broadcasting solutions. We deliver the most progressive international broadcasting solutions and information services that millions of listeners worldwide trust.

Dedicated Christian Radio Channels

Two dedicated channels: European Gospel Radio on Shortwave and AM radio in Europe and All Gospel Radio 24/7 streaming live, broadcast Christian news, gospel music, and Bible preaching programs on behalf of several Christian Ministries worldwide.

Our associated Bible radio and shortwave radio ministries agree that shortwave and streaming radio are among the most remarkable ways the Gospel can be spread worldwide.

International Public Access Radio (IPAR)

Suppose you are a radio presenter with a program of interest to the world community, an individual program producer, a micro-radio, public-radio, or community radio broadcaster on a local or national radio station, or any organisation interested in distributing your radio programs or podcasts to a worldwide audience. In that case, International Public Access Radio (IPAR) is for you.

IPAR is a radio relay service run by NEXUS-IBA. It is not a new radio station. Instead, it relays independent producers, community radio stations, micro radio stations, and non-religious organisations to a Worldwide audience.

Since 1988, the NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association has been an independent non-government organisation chartered as a strictly non-profit, all-volunteer association under Italian law. Nevertheless, the purpose and focus of the original pioneering idea have not changed: making Shortwave, AM/Medium Wave, TV, and Internet broadcasting facilities (streaming) available to our members and, occasionally, to a small number of commercial clients at the lowest possible cost.

Broadcast journalism and world media services

We are women entrepreneurs, professionals, broadcasters, journalists, and social media experts determined to keep the world informed. Our broadcasting services allow you to distribute your message across any nation.

Our World broadcasting services include news, politics, religion, public affairs, music, and entertainment stories on Shortwave, AM (Medium Wave) radio, satellite and streaming. These can be heard on portable radios, computers, and other devices such as mobile phones or WiFi.

Our dedication to free expression has also remained unchanged since 1979. We have a policy of non-interference in content, except in cases where it may violate Italian or other legislation. As a result, our programming is quite diverse and includes everything from disc jockey shows to religion, philosophy, culture, science and technology, and even old radio drama.

NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association is a coalition of broadcasters and independent programme producers and enjoys official status as a United Nations Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
