Original article: Cámara inició ronda de audiencias en discusión de proyecto que crea radios públicas nacionalesThe Public Works Commission of the Chamber of Deputies has commenced the hearing process regarding a bill that amends Law 18.168 -General Telecommunications-, to enable the creation of national public radio stations and expand the radio spectrum (Bill 18011). This initiative, proposed by the Government, includes the legal recognition of public broadcasting services, allowing the establishment of public radio stations by strategic institutions such as National Television (TVN) and Carabineros de Chile. Additionally, it permits other public agencies with national jurisdiction to set up their own broadcasting stations. The bill also aims to exclusively allocate the frequency band between 86 and 88 Megahertz (MHz) for this type of radio station. «There should be a law that supports and reflects the concept of public media,» Matta argued.
