    With over 10,000 radio stations, Brazil has one of the largest radio markets in the world. Radio remains a primary source of information and entertainment, especially in rural and remote regions. Music formats span sertanejo, pagode, forró, MPB, funk carioca, and gospel — each with dedicated stations. Major networks include Globo Radio, Band, and Jovem Pan. Evangelical and religious radio has grown enormously, becoming one of the most significant programming formats. Community radio is legally recognized and serves thousands of small towns. AM radio still plays a vital role in news and sports coverage, particularly for football broadcasts.
