The AERC RadioValue, founded in 1960, is the Spanish Association of Commercial Radio Stations whose aim is to bring the radio medium closer to advertisers and media agencies, as well as the protection of interests and criteria of private radio in all aspects that are not part of business and radio competition among its members.
It is composed of almost all privately-owned and commercially-financed radio stations in Spain since it is present throughout the country, and its membership is open to all privately-owned commercial radio broadcasting companies that own both Medium Wave and Modulated Frequency radio stations that have the necessary license from the Spanish Administration, which is an essential requirement for membership. Our most important partners include major Spanish broadcasting networks: SER, COPE, ONDA CERO, KISS FM and RADIO MARCA.
AERC also keeps a watch on the market’s regulations and conditions, dealing with issues such as concentration, pluralism and transparency in radio ownership, and is in charge of the relations with the Spanish Telecommunications authorities, as well as the international relations of Spanish broadcasters. Besides, AERC is also involved in the promotion and the implementation of new radio technologies.
The AERC has been an influential force in Spanish broadcasting throughout its foundation and is a member of the Association of European Radios (AER), where the same interests of radio are defended at European level.
