context_page_description: The mass media in Albania refers to mass media outlets based in Albania. Television, magazines, and newspapers are all operated by both state-owned and for-profit corporations which depend on advertising, subscription, and other sales-related revenues. The Constitution of Albania guarantees freedom of speech. Albanian media are quite diverse, although politicised, and often influenced by business and political interests.
context_section_description: Albania hosts 2 public radio networks and roughly 25 private radio stations. Several international broadcasters are available (as of 2010).
  The radio stations with nationwide coverage include the three public channels (Radio Tirana 1, 2, and 3), Top Albania Radio and Club FM. Several radio stations broadcast locally or over the internet.
  The BBC World Service (103.9 MHz in the capital, Tirana), Radio France Internationale, and China Radio International are available as of 2019. The BBC Albanian service operated from 1940 to 1967 and from 1993 to 2011.
