Radio RCS75

What Radio RCS75 does

Radio RCS75, also known as Radio Castelluccio, is an Italian local community radio station headquartered in Salerno, Campania, and founded in 1976 as one of Italy's first free radio stations (radio libere). The station is operated by Erreci digital radio soc.coop. a r.l., a cooperative (società cooperativa a responsabilità limitata) legal structure, and reaches audiences through a multi-platform distribution footprint: FM 103.2 and 92.8 MHz, DAB digital radio, Digital Terrestrial Television on Channel 111 (Radiovisione), online streaming at live.radiocastelluccio.com, native iOS and Android applications, and a YouTube on-demand channel.

The station's core product is 24-hour-a-day music and spoken-word programming — news, sports, culture, talk, and entertainment — targeted at residents of the Salerno and broader Campania region of southern Italy. Editorial content includes flagship programs such as Il Gran Mattino, L'Edicola dei Mattacchioni, Musica e Pallone, Spicchi di Calcio, Socrate al Caffè, and Radio Scuola Salerno. Radio RCS75 monetizes primarily through advertising and sponsorship, with disclosed sponsors including Ford and BCC Campania Centro alongside unspecified local businesses; commercial inquiries are handled via [email protected].

The business operates with a lean structure (1-10 employees per source data) and is regulated under Italian broadcasting law via SIAE license 40240 (1989), ROC registration (n.32388), 2020 Tribunal of Salerno registration (n.331/2020), and a radiotelevision broadcasting concession. Strategic partners include parent cooperative ERRECI Digital Radio (which runs Erasmus+ educational mobility programs), Confindustria Radio TV (industry association), and RadioPlayer Italia (digital aggregator). The company's growth and revenue trajectory remain undisclosed.
