‘RADIO 1’ commenced broadcasting on April 4, 2019, marking Albania’s Independence Day, utilizing the regional frequency of 98.0Fm. The station transitioned to regular, national 24-hour broadcasting operations on July 29, 2019. Prior to the launch of the ‘RADIO 1’ project, the ‘Njeshi’ Portal initiated operations, which is now integrated within the same media umbrella.
Together, the two entities operate as independent and impartial media outlets. The establishment of ‘RADIO 1’ was noted as a direct response to the contemporary demand for broadcasting services. Initially, the station was staffed by 11 employees who possessed two decades of experience in radio journalism, many of whom were founding members of the former Radio Dukagjinit in 1999.
As of today, ‘RADIO 1’ and the ‘Njeshi’ Portal maintain a combined workforce of 16 regular employees and 5 freelance contributors. The station’s journey reflects a significant expansion within the Albanian media landscape. The mention of the date April 4, 2026, signifies the seventh anniversary milestone for the radio service.
Since its inception, the station has adapted its operations to meet evolving market needs. The continuous presence of ‘RADIO 1’ in the Albanian radio sector underscores its role in the nation’s media communication structure.
