The Italian radio market is characterized by a large fragmentation of local and regional players. There are approximately 400 local broadcasters. However the national offer is dominated by the public broadcaster RAI and a number of commercial networks, generally also active in other media, such as GEDI Gruppo Editoriale, Radio Dimensione Suono, RTL 102.5, Mediaset or Gruppo 24 Ore. Concerning the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB/DAB+) network, in January 2020, a law was adopted to implement digital capability for all radio receivers in the country. Today, the DAB+ coverage population stands at 84% and should increase over the years. Furthermore, digital radio advertising revenues, which combine both website and podcast revenues, have become more and more important in the total revenues of radio groups in recent years. Digital radio revenues have reached 6.6 % of the total radio advertising revenues in Italy in 2020.
