Euranet, also known as the European Radio Network, is a consortium of international, national, regional, and local European broadcasters.

History

On July 25, 2007, 16 international, national, regional, and local European broadcasters from 13 EU countries formed a pan-European media consortium at the initiative of Deutsche Welle (DW) and Radio France Internationale (RFI). This includes both public and private broadcasters.

On February 26, 2008, Margot Wallström, vice president of the European Commission, made the official presentation of the European media consortium Euranet in Brussels. In the first year, Euranet programmes were broadcast in the five main languages—German, English, French, Polish, and Spanish—as well as five additional languages—Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese, Romanian, and Hungarian. Euranet has 26 professional radio stations and 10 campus radios as of July 2012.
