Independent Broadcasters Of Ireland (Ibi)

IBI is the representative organisation for Ireland's independent commercial radio stations. The mission of the IBI is to promote a strong and vibrant radio sector which reflects the preferences and needs of the listening public. The IBI also lobbies on behalf of the radio listeners of Ireland and constantly seeks to ensure that the quality of programming remains extremely high. This includes regular contributions to industry consultations and forums on issues ranging from programming to advertising and strategy. The IBI aims to provide a distinct and coherent national voice in the ongoing campaign for competitive equality across the broadcasting sector. Independent broadcasting is intertwined in the life of every community in the country. 70% of the population tune into our stations on a daily basis. This translates into weekday figures of in excess of 2.5 million listeners. With more than 1,200 people employed in the sector, independent broadcasters make a significant economic, social and cultural contribution to the Irish economy.
