In this article we propose a historical chronicle about the role of the free radios and community spaces of social communication in the Southern Basque Country, analysing recent changes in this field and its implications. The Basque case is meaningful in two ways: quantitatively, because of the high number of these free radio stations since the eighties; and also, because of the current changes in the political context, a less conflictual scenario. Starting with an analysis of the contemporary reality of the Southern Basque Country and of two free radio stations – Hala Bedi Irratia and Eguzki Irratia – this article looks at the hybridisation between alternative social movements and media. We look at the progressive evolution towards stable funding formulas (memberships) and the openness and quality of this type of radio. Finally, we highlight a fundamental difference between media such as free radio in contrast to mass self-communication through ICTs: besides the message, the media is (self-)constructed collectively by those involved.

在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个历史编年史，有关免费广播和社交场所社区在南巴斯克地区的作用，分析了该领域的最新变化及其影响。巴斯克事件在两个方面具有意义：从八十年代开始，因为这些免费广播电台数量众多，这是有意义的；而且，由于当前政治环境的变化，冲突情况也有所减少。从分析南部巴斯克地区和两个免费广播电台（Hala Bedi Irratia和Eguzki Irratia）的当代现实开始，本文着眼于替代性社会运动与媒体之间的混合。我们着眼于朝着稳定的资金公式（会员资格）的逐步发展以及此类无线电的开放性和质量。最后，
