Gylian Radio (French: Radio Gylias), abbreviated GR (RG), is the public radio broadcaster of Gylias. It is part of the Gylian National Broadcasting Service.

History

Gylian Radio was founded in 1958, as the radio division of the Gylian National Broadcasting Service.

Between 1958 and 1991, it had a monopoly on radio broadcasting at the federal level.

It expanded with the creation of additional radio stations in the 1960s–1970s, leading to the current total of 4 stations.

It played a role in the growth of the internet in Gylias during the 1990s, and was a pioneer in using the publinet to archive and stream its programming online.

Organisation

It is a public organisation, part of the GNBS. It is organised by workers' self-management, and managed by the Management Board.

It has 20 regional divisions.

Availability

GR is available nationally in Gylias, and internationally through satellite radio and online streaming.

It is also available in parts of Cacerta (the region of Molise) and Knichus (areas bordering Gylias).

Identity

GR is known for its eclectic programming and pioneered the concept of spin quotas. It broadcasts from 08:00 to 22:00 daily.

It uses a variety of station identification jingles. Famously, it has musicians who appear on its programmes contribute improvised jingles based on their songs for the occasion.
