📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Communications authorized the relay of new digital TV channels in four cities of Espirito Santo. The authorization, granted to Radio and Television Espirito Santo, was published in the Official Gazette on Monday (5).
The cities of Linhares, Rio Novo do Sul, Colatina (Serra da Boa Esperanca) and Venda Nova do Imigrante were contemplated.
The expansion of digital channels reinforces the commitment of the Ministry of Communications to ensure that more Brazilians have access to open, free and quality television. Expanding the digital signal means bringing more information, education and entertainment to regions that still face technical difficulties of coverage. Our work is to connect Brazil, with inclusion and modernity, said the Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
With the publication, the responsible companies must now obtain the authorization of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) and request the licensing of stations within the regulatory time.
What is RTV? The Television Relay Service (RTV) allows us to expand the reach of the signs of generating stations, leading to programming to regions that would otherwise receive the signal with low quality or even receive it. Relaying relay can broadcast signs of commercial or educational broadcasters.
Authorizations may be granted primarily (with protection against interference) or secondary (without protection), but in both cases they are precarious because they are auxiliary services to the broadcasting of sounds and images.
With these new authorizations, the Ministry of Communications reinforces its commitment to ensure more quality and access to information for the Brazilian population.
