📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Communications authorized, on Monday (8), the relay of radio signals to municipalities of Mato Grosso and Rondonia. The measure, published in the Federal Official Gazette, ensures that the content transmitted by capitals also reaches inland cities, expanding the populations access to information, culture and leisure.
In Mato Grosso, Radio Midwest was authorized to relay its programming to Sinop and Spring of the East. In Rondonia, Radio Fronteira can lead the sign to Ouro Preto do Oeste, Sao Miguel do Guapore and Sao Francisco do Guapore.
Authorizations allow many people to have more options to find out and entertain, especially in more remote areas, said Communications Minister Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
The grants were made possible through the Radio Relay Service in the Legal Amazon (RTR), an instrument created to facilitate the arrival of the broadcasting signal to the farther regions of the country.
As provided for in Decree 9,942/2019, the benefited entities must follow the deadlines to obtain the authorization to use radio frequency with Anatel and request licensing of the stations. The Legal Amazon covers the states of Acre, Amapa, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Para, Rondonia, Roraima, Tocantins and Maranhao.
What to do to relay?
The entity interested in retransmitting FM sound broadcasting signs must require authorization from the Ministry, which will then request technical feasibility studies prepared by Anatel. If there is viability by the agency, the selection process will be promoted to choose the entity to be authorized to perform the RTR service.
The authorization of the Radio Relay Service in the Legal Amazon is formalized through a contract between the Ministry of Communications and the interested party, which is published in the DOU containing the approved technical characteristics.
