Abstract
The origin of the radio emission in active galaxies ranging from LINER S to ultraluminous IRAS galaxies is considered under the scenario of a violent nuclear or circumnuclear starburst. The radio luminosity is e xplained as non-thermal radio emission generated in supernova remnants (SNRs). Implications of this scenario in terms of the radio brightnes s of SNRs, the supernovae rates, and their detectability are discussed .
