Radio Onda Libera

What Radio Onda Libera does

Radio Onda Libera is an Italian local radio station operated by the private company TV RADIO PALESTRINA S.R.L., headquartered at Via S.Maria 38/40 in Palestrina (Rome province), Italy. The station serves listeners across the Lazio region via FM frequencies 99.00 and 97.10 and DAB+ digital radio coverage in Rome Province and Latina Province. Programming is built around a curated music mix spanning the 1970s through contemporary hits, supplemented by locally produced news ('Zero in Onda'), sports commentary ('Non solo Sport'), and daily morning shows ('Free Radio Free Morning') anchored by named on-air personalities. The core audience is general radio listeners in the Lazio region seeking entertainment, music, news, and local community content.

The underlying platform is a multi-channel radio broadcasting infrastructure that distributes content through traditional FM analog transmission, DAB+ digital radio, web streaming at ondalibera.it, mobile applications on iOS and Android, Smart-TV applications including Amazon Fire, and voice assistant skills for Alexa and Google Home. Content production is supported by a team of approximately 15 named on-air speakers, journalists, technical operators, and administrative staff. The station holds SIAE License n. 5838/1, granting authorization to publicly broadcast copyrighted musical content in Italy, and the legal entity's Partita IVA is 01107831008.

Revenue is generated through advertising on a free-to-air basis, with no subscription or paid listener model. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across owned channels; no B2B customer relationships, advertiser concentration, funding history, or financial disclosures are documented. The business is operating, broadcasting live programming, and maintaining active digital distribution channels, but operates within the typical constraints of a small regional Italian broadcaster with no external investment or public reporting.
