*** EXTENDED FM BAND (76.1 - 87.7 MHz) IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL***
There are 4 stations In the FM band extended in São Paulo region, with excellent signal quality:
.. 77.5 MHz - Rádio Capital, São Paulo, // 1040 kHz.
.. 77.9 MHz - Rádio Cultura, São Paulo // 1200 kHz.
.. 84.1 MHz - GRU FM, Guarulhos - migrated from 1500 kHz, ex-Rádio Cumbica.
.. 87.1 MHz - Rádio Nacional, São Paulo - a new FM station in São Paulo, retransmitting programming from Radio Nacional FM 96.1 MHz, Brasília. But yesterday afternoon, a football match from Rio de Janeiro was broadcast via 87.1 MHz, a signal originated by Radio Nacional Rio de Janeiro - 1130 kHz. All these Nacional stations belongs to EBC - Empresa Brasileira de Comunicação.
. Because there are a low number of receivers able to tune the extended FM band in hands of listeners in Brazil (-> portable & fixed receivers, cell phones, FM receivers in cars, trucks), Brazilian federal regulatory agencies have given freedom to the medium wave broadcasters that are going to the extended FM band to continue using their traditional MW frequencies in parallel for 5 years.
. Other major cities in Brazil have also started on last May 7 the process of switching to extended FM, the same as it happened here in the São Paulo region.
