The Rundfunkanstalt Südtirol (Italian: Radiotelevisione Azienda Speciale, Ladin: Radiotelevijion- Azienda per Südtirol) is a public broadcasting service, completely funded by grants of the provincial government, for the majority German-speaking province of South Tyrol, Italy whose purpose is to relay programmes from the public broadcasters of Austria, Germany, German and Romansh Switzerland.

[1] After the Second Statute of Autonomy came into force in 1972, the provincial government for South Tyrol promised to create an agency whose purpose was to relay programmes from Austria and other German-speaking countries.

[2] The RAS was founded as an organisation on 5 January 1975 and nowadays owns all transmitter towers in South Tyrol and has worked for the digitisation of its broadcasting system.

RAS cooperates with the local civil protection corps to give information to the people of South Tyrol in case of emergency.

All the public broadcasters give the possibility to RAS to relay their programmes without any cost (provincial citizens don't have to pay extra license fees).
