📋 Tender Overview
Labor allowed to increase the number of authorized broadcasting stations by 1.3% compared to 2023. The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) reports that during 2024, 919 authorizations and renewals of broadcasting services were granted. This progress ensures that more Peruvians can enjoy diverse programming that includes entertainment, information, education and culture, thus promoting inclusion and social development in the different regions of the country.
Of the 919 authorizations and renewals, 794 correspond to radio services and 125 to television services. Of the total, 71% of the authorizations are for commercial purposes, 27% for educational purposes and 0.76% for community purposes. In addition, for the first time, 42 districts with nearly 93,000 inhabitants have access to radio service in the FM band, while 3 districts obtained television service in the VHF band for the first time, which benefits approximately 10,000 people.
Access to radio and television services not only connects people with their surroundings, but also fosters education, culture and the strengthening of our communities. At the MTC we are committed to ensuring that more Peruvians, especially in rural areas, can access more communication services, said the Vice Minister of Communications, Carla Paola Sosa Vela. The regions with the highest number of authorizations and renewals were Cajamarca (69), Cusco (67), Puno (66), Ancash (65) and Lima (64), demonstrating the MTCs decentralized approach to expanding the coverage of essential broadcasting services.
In this way, the MTC, through the General Directorate of Telecommunications Authorizations (DGAT), reaffirms its commitment to promoting broadcasting services as essential tools for national development and integration.
