History
The first Uruguayan national broadcaster, SODRE (Official Radio Broadcasting Service), was inaugurated in 1929, and its first station, CX6 650 AM (now Radio Clásica), launched on 1 April 1930. Two additional AM services were added: CX26 1050 AM Radio Uruguay, a national speech station, and CX38 1290 AM Emisora del Sur, focused on music. They have since been joined by Babel, an instrumental music station.
As a result of a reorganization of public media in Uruguay, the new Servicio de Comunicación Audiovisual Nacional (National Audiovisual Communication Service) was created in 2015, unifying formerly separate radio, film, and television agencies.[1]
Services
In Montevideo, each of the four stations operates around the clock. Most of the rest of the country is served by a network of regional repeaters that primarily airs programs from Radio Uruguay.
