Brazil Radio Stations

Radio in Brazil

Brazil is one of the world's great radio nations — a country where the medium has never surrendered to television or the internet, remaining the most-reached medium in a country of 215 million. Brazilian radio reflects the country's staggering musical diversity: sertanejo (Brazilian country music) dominates in rural areas and inland cities, while funk carioca throbs from FM stations in Rio, axé and pagode define the northeast, and forró connects the interior. The government-run Empresa Brasil de Comunicação (EBC) operates Rádio Nacional, but Brazil's radio landscape is defined by its thousands of independent local stations serving specific regional tastes. Brazil also has the world's largest Carnival — and radio is central to broadcasting the event's music months before and after the February celebrations.

Major public broadcaster: Rádio Nacional (EBC). Brazil has over 10,000 licensed radio stations — one of the world's densest radio ecosystems. Dominant genres: sertanejo, funk, axé, forró, MPB.
