Brazil public radio heritage preservation

Overview

In May 2026 Brazil’s public broadcaster Rádio Nacional launched a call for historic recordings, photographs and documents to enrich its 90‑year archive. The National Archive followed with a drive for functional VHS players to digitise an analog collection of roughly 10,000 tapes. On 15 June the station premiered the 90‑episode documentary series “90 anos em 90 histórias,” drawing on newly gathered material, and two days later modernised its web portals to host live streams, on‑demand playback and podcasts.

The preservation effort continued on 14 July when CrysNews released a four‑part audio‑documentary podcast, “Resgate Radiofônico: A História da Rádio Relógio,” chronicling the Rio‑based Rádio Relógio Federal’s origins, political role during the military regime and cultural influence. The same day Rádio Nacional aired a new videocast episode of its “Rádio Memória” series, “Rainhas do Rádio,” revisiting the historic rivalry between singers Emilinha Borba and Marlene. Both productions further the 90th‑anniversary push to safeguard, digitise and reinterpret Brazil’s radio legacy for a wider public.

Together, these initiatives illustrate a coordinated, multi‑platform campaign by Brazil’s public media to preserve and share the nation’s broadcasting heritage during this milestone year.
