Broadcasting Globally

Our Shortwave radio broadcasts often reach well beyond target areas in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. We can also beam programs on demand to North America and South America. IRRS-Shortwave uses 150 to 300 kW transmitters and directional HF antennas daily to achieve maximum coverage.

Additionally, IRRS-Medium Wave airs every evening from 20:00 to 00:10 CET on 1323 kHz. These AM/Medium Wave broadcasts reach Northern and Central Italy and much of Southern and Central Europe. After boosting our transmitter power in 2022 and 2023, reception now covers Northern Europe and even helps refugees in conflict zones around Ukraine and Russia. Shortwave signals also reach the Middle East, including Palestine, Israel, and Lebanon.
