The origin of radio emission in magnetic CVs is a long standing problem without a satisfactory solution. We review the radio observations of both non-magnetic and magnetic CVs and discuss possible emission mechanisms. We pose the following questions: Is the presence of a magnetic white dwarf a necessary condition for radio emission? Is there a single cause for the radio emission or are there several radio emission mechanisms? We revisit the suggestion that asynchronism or at least the lack of strict magnetic locking might be a necessary condition for radio emission.
