Rai Radio 4 Light is a radio channel owned and produced by the Italian state-owned public-service broadcasting organization RAI. It broadcasts continuous pop, rock, fusion, jazz, Latin American, movie soundtrack, melodic, and easy-listening orchestral music, without commercials. Until August 2015 it was known as Rai Radio FD 4.
The channel is distributed on Filodiffusione – the cable radio system launched in 1958 by RAI and SIP, now Telecom Italia – and also broadcast digitally using terrestrial DAB (in Italy only) and DVB-T from the Eutelsat Hot Bird 6 satellite (which covers Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East).
Rai Radio 4 Light is also relayed overnight between 19.35 and 7.00 in the Trieste/Slovenian language-area by Radio Trst A.
