Noradio

NORadio is an acronym for Neodvisni Obalni Radio (in English: Independent coastal radio). It also goes by the Italian name of Radio Costiera Indipendente, as it also broadcasts for the Italian minority in Slovenia and the Slovenian minority in Italy. In this sense, NORadio has a regional and, at the same time, international audience as it covers a small geographic area shared by Slovenia, Italy and Croatia.

The radio was launched in 2020 to serve and connect different communities and to help organise the NGO sector and civil society. Though its schedule includes music and culture, its aim is not to be an entertainment broadcaster, but rather to delve into stories and their contexts. It mostly runs on its founders' enthusiasm and volunteer work as it is still in its start-up phase and is in the process of creating a new website that would serve as an informative media platform.

NORadio is a brand new - now digital - chapter in Slovenia's long history of independent radio. Radio NOR creators emphasise the role of Radio Študent (Ljubljana), the oldest independent radio station in Europe, and radio Marš (Maribor) as one of its main influences to bring the spirit of independent radio to the coastal region as well.

It is also part of the Neuvrščeni national network, a network of independent, non-profit community-based media, in the so-called "third media pillar".
