Vatican Radio broadcasts in 45 languages and is part of an intensive
radios network that all over the world rebroadcast Vatican Radio
programmes upon prior agreement of the General Management. This belong
to an old tradition of services and technical assistance that Vatican
Radio offers to other radios (public, local, catholic or not).
Vatican Radio also assures the broadcasting, diffusion and distribution

pontifical ceremonies or major events). Vatican Radio has the
institutional task to record, amplify and distribute the sound of all
the Pope public activities.
The International Relations Office is charged with overseeing these
complicated interrelationships, which might call for providing technical
and editorial assistance to journalists and technicians on assignment
abroad, or offering international exchanges of different radio
programmes ( religious, cultural, musical or news)
Moreover Vatican Radio offers its collaboration and advice on
broadcasting issues to Dioceses
or Episcopal Conferences.
