📋 Tender Overview
Expanding popular participation and democratizing access to information are two latent goals of the Ministry of Communications. Therefore one of the first actions of the Pasta in 2023 was to launch three public notices for the selection of the Community Radio service RADCOM. The contests affect municipalities in three states in the Midwest Gois 7 Mato Grosso 3 and Mato Grosso do Sul 1. It is an opportunity for foundations and non-profit associations to express interest in working through a community radio station using Frequency Modulation FM.In all the notices cover 216 municipalities in 23 Brazilian states. Strengthening social participation mechanisms and community radio broadcasting are among our priorities highlighted Communications Minister Juscelino Filho. Until last year 237 municipalities still did not have a single entity authorized to provide the service. We will analyze the registrations received in all public notices and if they are not enough we will launch the National Grant Plan PNO 2023 with more opportunities for municipalities to rely on this service which is of great importance for the communities he guaranteed. The grants granted by MCom to RADCOM are valid for 10 years without exclusivity.
