Blazars and radio galaxies are radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei characterized by the presence of a relativistic jet emanating from their central engines. In the former sources, the jet is seen almost end-on, and its non-thermal beamed emission dominates their output, which spans more than 15 orders of magnitudes in the electromagnetic spectrum. In radio galaxies, the jet is oriented at larger viewing angle, and its contribution to the source's emission is still not clear. Thus, the study of blazars and radiogalaxies provides us clues to the jet physics and its connection to the accretion-dominated central engine. With its large FOV and improved sensitivity at energies > 10 keV, Integral gives us access to a new observing window for jet physics. Indeed, Integral has observed and detected several blazars in flaring states in coordination with other space- and ground-based multiwavelength observatories, and a few of the brightest broad-line radio galaxies as well. In this review talk, I will summarize recent Integral and multiwavelength campaigns of blazars which have provided new insights to our knowledge of these systems. In addition, I will present new results from our ongoing Integral monitoring of the broad-line radio galaxies 3C390.3 and 3C120, as well as archival ISGRI observations.
