Abstract

This study has as main objective to understand and analyse the programming of Rádio Clube de Moçambique during the Colonial War, and how it served as a propaganda tool for the Estado Novo. Due to its alignment with the Portuguese regime and the existence of revenues raised by the exploitation of the advertising market, the station managed to achieve the hegemony of broadcasting in Mozambique. Over the years, this radio station has expanded throughout the territory, starting in Lourenço Marques, with the support of colonial power. The relationship was characterized by an exchange of mutual favours: the RCM was interested in the investment that came from the state, and the government was interested in the preponderance of the radio station in transmitting ideals and achievements to the population. By reading the magazine Rádio Moçambique, between October 1964 and October 1967,it becomes clear that Rádio Clube de Moçambique was an important radio station that played a decisive role in promoting the colonial regime. The results obtained made it also possible to conclude that this radio station served as a mean of entertainment to the white people of Mozambique, offering a program full of musical programs.
