Radio Liechtenstein, often shortended to Radio L, is the public radio station of Liechtenstein. It is the first and primary station to broadcast in Liechtenstein. They primarily broadcast local news, world news, music, sports, events and podcasts. There were plans to launch a radio broadcaster in the late 1930s, but this was discontinued. The plans to bring back the radio broadcaster began in 1991, with the station being launched on 15 August 1995. It is operated by the Liechtenstein Broadcasting Corporation (LRF) and funded by the Liechtenstein Government. The headquarters are located in Schaan.

In 2021, the station reported an average viewership of 21,530 people, 10,800 of which came from within Liechtenstein itself.^[2] The majority of listeners of the station come Switzerland, for its German-speaking population in the north-east of Switzerland, which borders Liechtenstein. Due to the high commuter flows from Switzerland, its official broadcast area includes the lower Rhine Valley, which is served by two FM stations in St. Margrethen and Thal and the DAB block in eastern Switzerland as far as Lake Constance.
