Rádio Nacional
Rádio Nacional (National Radio) is a Brazilian radio network belonging to the government-owned corporation EBC (Empresa Brasil de Comunicação, Brazil Communication Company), formerly known as Radiobrás.The Brazilian system of public radio began to be assembled from the nationalization of the Rádio Nacional, a Rio de Janeiro-based station in 1936, by President Getúlio Vargas.In 1977, the shortwave service Rádio Nacional da Amazônia was created, covering much of Brazil with the aim of showing the Amazon culture to the rest of the country.On May 7, 2021, five EBC transmitters on 87.1 FM—four of them for Rádio Nacional—were among the 10 charter stations to operate in the FM extended band in Brazil.Later, the acronym was changed to Rádio Música, Educação e Cultura (Music, Education and Culture Radio).
