Radio Romania International (Romanian: Radio România Internațional, or RRI) is a Romanian radio station owned by the Romanian public radio broadcaster Societatea Română de Radiodifuziune (SRR, the national public radio in Romania) that broadcasts abroad. It was created in 1927 and was known as Radio Bucharest before 1989.

According to Romanian Law No. 41/1994, republished, the SRR produces and broadcasts programs in the Romanian language and other languages for a worldwide audience to promote the image of Romania and its internal and external politics. As a result, inside the SRR is Departamentul Radio România Internațional (Department Radio Romania International), which owns two radio stations.

Stations

As of March 2001, RRI 1 has broadcast daily shows under the heading "Romania Live": a summary of the shows produced by the lead departments in the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation. This summary is broadcast around the clock via satellite, on the internet (in RealAudio), and on short wave (to Central and Western Europe and Israel), 8 hours per day. RRI 1 has daily broadcasts around the clock in Romanian and three 30-minute broadcasts in the Aromanian language.

RRI 2 produces and broadcasts shows under the heading "Radio Bridges" in twelve foreign languages: Arabic, Aromanian, Chinese, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Serbian, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian, which total 25.5 hours per day.

The station is available on mediumwave, shortwave, and FM, in addition to satellite. RRI has 51 hours of radio programs every day, which amounts to more than 18,600 hours of radio production every year.
