Radio Data Center was created in 2012 to provide professional data delivery and services for broadcast radio-related business and industries. Gunter Lorenz had founded FMLIST, the world's most comprehensive and up-to-data database of FM broadcasting, already in 1986. It went online in 2005 at fmlist.org and was soon followed by MWLIST, its counterpart for mediumwave and shortwave broadcasting. Oliver Schmidt is CEO of RDC and Chairman of the Board of UKW/TV-Arbeitskreis e.V., the organisation that owns FMLIST, and publisher of "Sender-Tabelle" and "European Radio Guide" books. The worldwide RDC team defines their work, which extends the community-supported databases to professional level, as "being cartographers of the global radio landscape."
