Radio Popolare

Broadcasting from Milan since 1976, this community radio station operates as an independent editorial cooperative. Programming emphasizes investigative journalism, local reporting, and in-depth analysis of political and social issues, with a management structure involving its members and listeners. The station organizes a yearly fundraising marathon to maintain economic autonomy without reliance on commercial advertising.

Content includes segments dedicated to alternative music, jazz, and niche genres, interspersed with talk programs selected by individual hosts. Studios are located on via Stradella in Milan, and the signal reaches a significant portion of Lombardy through terrestrial frequencies and digital streaming. The newsroom produces daily updates, live coverage from courtrooms, and reports on city-wide demonstrations.
