Rádio Nacional (National Radio) is a Brazilian radio network belonging to the government-owned corporation EBC (Empresa Brasil de Comunicação, Brazil Communication Company), formerly known as Radiobrás.
The Brazilian system of public radio began to be assembled from the nationalization of the Rádio Nacional, a Rio de Janeiro-based station in 1936, by President Getúlio Vargas. In 1958, two years before the inauguration of new capital Brasília, Rádio Nacional Brasília was founded, and in 1976 the FM version, Nacional FM was assembled in the same city. In 1977, the shortwave service Rádio Nacional da Amazônia was created, covering much of Brazil with the aim of showing the Amazon culture to the rest of the country. In 2006, Nacional launched the Radio Nacional do Alto Solimões, covering municipalities of the Alto Solimões region of Amazonas state.
On May 7, 2021, five EBC transmitters on 87.1 FM—four of them for Rádio Nacional—were among the 10 charter stations to operate in the FM extended band in Brazil. The new stations filled some of Rádio Nacional's largest coverage gaps, bringing the station to Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Recife and São Paulo.
In 1936, Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro was donated to the Brazilian government and renamed Rádio Ministério da Educação e Cultura (Ministry of Education and Culture Radio) or simply Rádio MEC. Later, the acronym was changed to Rádio Música, Educação e Cultura (Music, Education and Culture Radio). In 2008, the three stations of Rádio MEC were incorporated to the EBC radio networks, along with Rádio Nacional stations.
