Ràdio Capital de l'Empordà

What Ràdio Capital de l'Empordà does

Ràdio Capital de l'Empordà is a nonprofit local radio station broadcasting on 93.8 FM from Pals, Girona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is operated by the Associació Escola de ràdio i periodisme digital de l'Empordà (Association School of Radio and Digital Journalism of Empordà), a nonprofit association founded in 2001 that combines a community broadcasting mission with a journalism training function. The station serves the 36 municipalities of the Baix Empordà comarca on the Costa Brava, delivering hyperlocal news, weather forecasts, cultural event coverage, sports reporting, and music programming to local residents and seasonal visitors.

The core product is the live FM broadcast, supplemented by an extensive digital footprint: a news portal at radiocapital.cat with approximately 9,395 published articles, live streaming, podcasts distributed via Spotify and iVoox, and active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, and RSS. Programming includes structured shows such as Supermatí (morning show), De cap a cap, Aquella nit al Tiffany's (audio drama), El viatge de les paraules, Cocodril Club, and Altamar talks. The station also operates the Escola de Ràdio, a digital journalism school, and has launched the El fil invisible podcast series in partnership with Ràdio l'Escala and cultural organization Portalblau.

The business model is primarily advertising- and sponsorship-supported, with promotional content sold to local businesses and event organizers in the Baix Empordà region. Content is free-to-access, with an emerging 'Empordà Premium' subscription tier offering premium content. The station is a member of AMIC (the Catalan local media industry association) and, as of June 2026, joined Escat Mèdia, a cross-border newsroom linking Northern Catalonia and Girona. With approximately 16 employees and a combined audience exceeding 24,000 listeners across its affiliated stations, Ràdio Capital operates as a community-rooted media nonprofit rather than a commercial enterprise.
