About Rádio Canção Nova
Rádio Canção Nova is a Catholic radio station from Brazil, broadcasting from Cachoeira Paulista in the state of São Paulo. The stream identifies itself as the 89.1 FM signal and carries a mix of spoken programmes and Catholic music, including prayer, the rosary, interviews, Church news and discussion shows.
The station belongs to the Canção Nova communications network, a Catholic community whose radio service began on 1 April 1980, when a former AM station in Cachoeira Paulista was converted. It was inaugurated on 25 May of that year by Monsenhor Jonas Abib under the slogan "Rádio Canção Nova, a Rádio do Senhor". Its editorial line is openly Catholic and its audience is mainly Portuguese-speaking Catholic listeners in Brazil and beyond.
Typical programming on the website includes daily prayer slots such as Hora da Misericórdia, morning prayer groups, afternoon news and discussion, and shows dedicated to the history of Catholic music. The internet stream is MP3 at 96 kbps in stereo, which gives clear speech and music on most connections. All programming is in Brazilian Portuguese.
