Abstract

Radio is a mass medium conditioned by technological changes. From its beginnings, it has also been a public communication space that fosters complicity, closeness and personal interaction with its audience, which is now amplified with the possibilities offered by the digital environment. This paper describes a selection of radio initiatives that show the permanent effort of the radio to seek the audience in the old and new communication scenarios. The purpose of this description is to characterize the new radio listening and consumption model.
