EIRA was founded on the 12th of May 1993, bearing the name of "Athens Independent Radio Station Association". Its headquarters are in Athens.

EIRA's objective is the promotion of radio station owners' professional and financial interests.

EIRA's members are private radio station owners as well as physical persons related to radio.

The number of radio stations belonging to the Association is 34. These include:

• FLASH 96 FM
• ANTENNA 97.2 FM
• GALAXY 92 FM

Every year, on the occasion of the World's Day against AIDS (1st of December), EIRA organises a common radio transmission in which a large number of private radio stations (members of EIRA or not) take part. In that way, radio takes the opportunity to assist the Ministry of Health, as well as the Special Infectious Diseases Control Center, in their efforts to alert, inform and instruct the wide public about the issue of AIDS.

Furthermore, in the formation of the Law 2328/1995, EIRA effected determinant interventions in favor of Radio. (Law 2328 is the legal regime for private radio and television, which includes regulations with respect to broadcasting and the media market, as well as other provisions). EIRA joined AER in 1995.
