Radio Rock is an Italian radio station site in Rome, broadcasts in most of Lazio, and stream over the internet from his website.[1]

Radio Rock broadcasts rock music 24 hours a day. It started in 1985, then has steadily grown throughout the years. According to the Audiradio report on the first quarter of 2010 it reached 156,000 people daily (average).[2]

In 1998, when three of the founders left the radio (Artico, Castaldo, Andreani), the audience averaged 101,000 for the day.

Radio Rock is well known in the Italian rock scene for promoting international musicians previously unknown. This has been possible since Radio Rock sponsored a great number of concerts and events in Rome. According to this organization, Radio Rock brought to his public a number of artist such as Porcupine Tree, the Bevis Frond, Ozric Tentacles, Nirvana and others.

Different disc jockeys have worked free for Radio Rock since his foundation in 1985. Each dj brings a peculiar choice in musical selection, but all of them deeply fond of rock music. In 2004 was bornRadio Rock Italia, a side project about only italian rock music presented by female dj's: Francesca, Anto, Marta, Tosca, Vale.

Actually, Radio Rock broadcasts in FM 106,600 mhz, Dab (Digital Audio Broadcast) and on line at www.radiorock.it
