Radio România Internaţional (Romanian: Radio România Internaţional, or RRI) is a Romanian radio station owned by the Romanian public radio broadcaster Societatea Română de Radiodifuziune (SRR, the national public radio in Romania) that broadcasts abroad. Prior to 1989, the station was known as Radio Bucharest.

According to the Romanian law nr. 41/1994, republished, the SRR produces and broadcasts programmes in the Romanian language and other languages, for worldwide auditorium, to promote the image of Romania, and her internal and external politics. As a result, inside the SRR there is Departamentul Radio România Internaţional (The Department Radio Romania International) (RRI), that owns two radio stations:

  • RRI 1 - “Romania Live”

As of March 2001, RRI 1 has broadcast daily shows under the heading “Romania, live”, a summary of the shows produced by the main departments in the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation. This summary is broadcast around the clock via the satellite, on the Internet (in RealAudio), and also on short waves (to Central and Western Europe and Israel), 8 hours per day. RRI 1 has daily broadcasts around the clock in Romanian, and three 30 minute-broadcasts in the Aromanian dialect, which add up to 9,300 hours per year.

  • RRI 2 - “Radio Bridges”

RRI 2 produces and broadcasts shows in ten foreign languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Serbian, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian, which total 25.5 hours per day. In other words, 9,300 more broadcasting hours per year.

People can listen to the programmes on mediumwave, shortwave, and FM, and also via satellite and other means of delivery; RRI has 51 hours of radio programme every day, which amount to more than 18,600 hours of radio production in 12 months.
