Digital structure and programming lineup
The initiative, which began as a contact channel via WhatsApp and social media, has expanded its reach across all Brazilian state capitals. The project's next phase includes continuous 24-hour broadcasting on YouTube, streaming platforms, and FAST channels, combining live content with regionalized distribution.
