Rádio Nacional celebrates 90 years of broadcasting history

Overview

The Rádio Nacional network in Brazil is marking several significant milestones. Rádio Nacional FM Brasília previously celebrated its 50th anniversary with special programming on the Espaço Arte program.

Rádio Nacional da Amazônia recently marked its 49th anniversary with the commemorative program ‘Viva Maria’, hosted by Mara Régia. The program featured singer and composer Nilson Chaves, who discussed the creation of musical pieces reflecting Amazonian cultural identity. The station continues to serve as a vital communication link for isolated territories and quilombola communities, such as the Baião Territory in Tocantins, as it prepares for its 50th anniversary in 2027.

Broadening the scope of celebrations, the Rádio Nacional network is commemorating 90 years of broadcasting history. Originally linked to the newspaper ‘A Noite’ in Rio de Janeiro, the station was incorporated into federal government assets under Getúlio Vargas in 1940, which expanded its reach globally. Commemorative activities include themed discussions on TV Brasil’s ‘Sem Censura’ program featuring media figures and artists. The cinema premiere of the documentary ‘PRK-30 – O Rádio pelo Avesso’ also explores the history of the iconic humor program PRK-30.

To further celebrate the 90th anniversary, the station released a new music video featuring a modern version of the historical samba-enredo ‘Alô! Alô! Brasil!’, originally recorded in 1977. Produced in partnership with the Estácio de Sá samba school, the updated version includes the names of current Rádio Nacional staff and features participation from announcers, technicians, and the school’s ‘velha guarda’. The project highlights major milestones such as variety shows, sports broadcasts, and radio soap operas.
