The radios of the Rosa network have been claiming for more than twenty years, “There is something to listen to in the Basque Country!” This network includes free radio stations, municipal radios, regional radios (of the country), national radios... "What all interiorizes us, but the Basque is. We are joined by the objectives of increasing and enhancing the presence of Euskera in our radio stations thanks to the collaboration", they point out. They emphasize that the Zebrabidea continues to produce a magazine (Monday to Friday afternoon), a magazine of general interest produced for the entire Basque Country, led by Ekhine Zapiain and Sara Iriarte.
Although the situation of the Basque country is different in the region, Esan Erran, since his childhood, has been working on the Euskaldunization of the linguistic landscape of the valley.

In 1998, Esan Erran was created, the small radio that a group of citizens would broadcast in Basque. The region of Esan Erran consists of seven municipalities: Imotz, Basaburua, Ultzama, Atetz, Odieta, Anue and Lantz. “Although the situation of the Basque Country is different throughout the region, Esan Erran, since his smallness, has been working for years in the Basque language landscape of the valley,” they stress.
In 2012, the Government of Navarra cut off subsidies, the only radio worker went to unemployment and considered it an attempt to silence the radio. Subsequently, a group of young people kept the emission performing weekly sessions. In 2013, without financial aid but with enthusiasm, emission tests began to be broadcast 24 hours and seven days a week by the end of the year.
