There are 3 private national radio stations, 1 public, and 63 local radio stations in Albania. Public radio signal of RTSH Radio Tirana 1 covers 80.5% of the territory, while those of Top Albania Radio and Club FM, both commercial radio stations with a national license, cover 93.7%, and the western lowland respectively. In 2020, the third private national frequency license was awarded to Radio Klan, part of Televizioni Klan sh.a. There are some ongoing initiatives to measure audience shares in the country, but they are limited in geographical scope and the results are not public. However, radio stations seem to be more of an entertainment medium, with mainly music, interrupted by news flashes or talk show programs. [1]
