Partilhando Comunicação com a Comunidade
The Radio Station was created in 1998 to promote local and regional cultures, discuss issues related to local development, help the local population monitor the city’s budget and spending, and to inform the population about issues related to their rights and responsibilities. After a nine year struggle to obtain an operating license with the Brazilian Ministry of Communications, the Station received the required permits following BrazilFoundation’s support.
The Radio Station has an extremely active agenda. It has partnerships with the Universidade de Feira de Santana (University of Feira de Santana) and the Instituto Maria Quiteria (Maria Quiteria Institute), a BrazilFoundation grantee in 2008 and 2009.
