Rádio São Jorge

Rádio São Jorge FM 87.9 is a Brazilian radio station based in the municipality of Alto Paraíso de Goiás, no estado de Goiás, that aims to promote independent information, the valorization of local culture and tradition, and the formation of young radio broadcasters. It is described as having an “eclético” programming format, meaning a mix of different kinds of content, not strictly one genre or type. The station serves as a vital communication tool for the community, described as their “forum,” “public square,” “ballroom,” e “classroom.” Rádio São Jorge is more than a “music station”; it is essentially a community radio. The station is associated with local cultural efforts, including the Casa de Cultura Cavaleiro de Jorge (Cavaleiro de Jorge Culture House) and the Turma Que Faz (A Class That Makes It Happen) art-education project, which uses the radio to continue its activities with local children.
