About Our Organisation

IRUC was founded in 2007 in order to provide a uniform system of assigning callsigns (call letters) to Internet-only radio stations.

While traditional over-the-air broadcast stations are typically assigned call letters by their national authority (such as the Federal Communications Commission in the United States), no such system existed for the tens of thousands of Internet-only stations.

Internet Radio Uniform Callsigns (IRUCs) are assigned by a nonpartisan international administrative team upon the request of station owners. IRUC prefixes are pre-assigned to individual countries and regions under standards established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and adapted for the diverse Internet Radio community.

Why Internet Radio Callsigns?

With the increased adoption of standalone Internet radio receivers, a standardised system for allocating callsigns to Web radio stations has become a virtual requirement.

Consider the listener's perspective: while a person tuning in to a standard FM radio can merely turn a dial, punch in a frequency or scan for local stations, the new breed of Internet radio receivers can present a challenge.

With an Internet Radio Uniform Callsign (IRUC), your prospective listener only needs to enter a few letters into the radio's search utility in order to tune in to your station.

It's convenient for the listener, and opens up the potential for an unlimited international audience for your station!
