Rádio Nacional premieres international broadcast in Spanish and English
Starting March 31, Rádio Nacional da Amazônia will debut an international program on its schedule, aimed at audiences from other countries who follow the program via shortwave. The 10-minute programs in Spanish and English will air daily at 10:50 p.m.
The creation of the Brazil National - International Service band came from QSL requests received by the broadcaster. QSL cards are postcards used by radio amateurs to confirm contacts made via radio. They function as a kind of communication "receipt" and are exchanged between radio operators in different parts of the world.
Because it operates on shortwave (SW), Rádio Nacional da Amazônia is the only radio station in the country that can have national and even international coverage. It potentially reaches 60 million inhabitants, with a signal that reaches the entire northern region, as well as Maranhão, Piauí, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Goiás and other states. The radio station strengthens the link between the communities of the Amazon, integrates the region with other states in Brazil and values cultural diversity.
The content will be translated into audio by the translation teams at Empresa Brasil de Comunicação (EBC) .
"Due to our international reach, we receive many requests for QSL cards at night. Many are from Spanish or English-speaking countries. In this new time slot, we have chosen to highlight some of the content on our programming, such as interviews that have aired on international or cultural topics that are relevant beyond Brazil. This strengthens Rádio Nacional's position as a broadcaster without borders," highlights EBC 's executive radio manager , Thiago Regotto.
In addition to showcasing the richness of the Amazon and its global importance, the track will also highlight the broadcaster's role in public communication, reinforcing its commitment to connecting populations within and outside the country.
