Rádio Comunitária FM

Rádio Comunitária FM is a type of community radio station in Brazil, operating under regulations established by the Brazilian government to serve local communities. These stations are typically non-commercial and focus on promoting local culture, education, and community engagement. They are limited to a maximum broadcast power of 25 watts and a coverage radius of up to 1 kilometer, ensuring their focus remains on the immediate community. Rádio Comunitária FM stations are required to be managed by non-profit organizations and are prohibited from airing commercial advertising, though they can receive sponsorships to cover operational costs. Their goal is to give a voice to underrepresented groups and encourage local participation in media.
