Radio Nacional de Espana, also known as RNE, is a privately owned entity headquartered in Spain, operating as a subsidiary of Radiotelevision Espanola (RTVE). Founded in 1937, with approximately 560 employees, the company specializes in broadcast media production and distribution. Functioning as a public broadcasting network within the Spanish Radio and Television Corporation, RNE offers a variety of radio stations. Its programming encompasses news, social issues, culture, sports, community service, classical music, youth culture, Catalan language, and international news, serving a diverse audience, including minorities and those with social needs.
Spain's public broadcaster RTVE announced on April 1, 2026, the upcoming launch of ARTE España, a new cultural television channel developed in partnership with the European network ARTE. Set to debut in late June, the project will be led by journalist Ana Peláez under RTVE’s newly created Arts and Knowledge division. Previously, on March 29, RTVE and The Walt Disney Company finalized what is believed to be a first-of-its-kind licensing partnership in Europe. This agreement will make selected RTVE programs, including drama, entertainment, and reality content such as 'MasterChef', available on Disney+ immediately after their broadcast on La 1. This deal expands Disney's strategy to boost local content and meet EU quotas for European programming, following similar agreements with other European free-to-air broadcasters.
