According to the Romanian law nr. 41/1994, republished, the SRR produces and broadcasts programmes in the Romanian language and other languages, for worldwide auditorium, to promote the image of Romania, and her internal and external politics. As a result, inside the SRR there is Departamentul Radio România Internaţional (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 main departments in the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation. This summary is broadcast around the clock via the satellite, on the Internet (in RealAudio), and also on short waves (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 dialect.
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.
People can listen to the programmes on mediumwave, shortwave, and FM, in addition to satellite. RRI has 51 hours of radio programme every day, which amounts to more than 18,600 hours of radio production in every year.
