About Radio Porto
Radio Portuense History

Rádio Portuense was founded on September 4, 2014 by three friends (Luís Mesquita, Carvalho Araújo and Carlos Ribeiro) who were passionate about radio and the city of Porto. Pioneer web-radio in reports of online football matches, it started with small advances, where its first broadcasts were carried out from home, being, today, one of the biggest radio stations in the City of Porto. Its genesis is related to addressing all topics related to the Invicta city and sports comments.

The radio bug in these three friends came after an experience in another web radio, in Matosinhos. The first broadcasts of Rádio Portuense were carried out from the home of each of its founders, but they quickly realized that they needed to expand in order to carry out all the ideas and make Rádio different from the other existing web-radios. It was then that they decided to go out into the streets of Porto, talk to the people of Porto or attend events that took place in the city. But, before all this, the dream of having their own studio where they could get together to discuss ideas and make programs came up. There was some demand, but between contacts, the Centro Comercial de Cedofeita showed interest and, after a meeting in which everything was aligned, the Rádio Portuense studio was born, in store 69 of the Centro Comercial de Cedofeita. This partnership began on April 11, 2015, with the management of the Shopping Center being the sponsors of the radio.

The first major event that Rádio covered was Fantasporto, followed by Eros Porto. These were the events that allowed Rádio to give its first big boom, because with the presentation of these works, accreditation to attend other events was not denied. The football reports emerged shortly afterwards, through an opportunity to report on Sport Rio Tinto, under the command of Carvalho Araújo. However, the objective was to carry out the reports of the Primeira Liga and, for that very reason, the desire arose to cover the classic Boavista-Futebol Clube do Porto, which, thanks to the curriculum and persistence of Rádio Portuense, was possible. From then on, the football reports for Boavista, for the home games, were in charge of Carvalho Araújo, the comments were made by Luís Mesquita and Carlos Ribeiro made comments to the referee. Currently, football reports are produced by Futebol Clube do Porto, through Luís Mesquita and David Guimarães, in partnership with Rádio Universo Porto, Porto Canal, and Portal dos Dragões.

Social networks also played an important role, as they allowed Radio to grow in terms of visibility and listeners. Radio content is generated in such a way as to maintain a very direct connection with our listeners, thus maintaining an interaction with them, in particular with emigrants and with all Portuguese speakers, breaking down borders and reducing distance.

The protocol that allows us to receive interns began in 2017/2018, after Fernando Pessoa University sought our services. We therefore consider the work of our interns to be very important because, in addition to helping the radio grow, they can also maintain direct contact with the area of ​​study. In addition, they have great freedom to present their own ideas and to execute them, without associated pressures.

Radio Porto encompasses several social communication projects and still has many surprises to show its listeners.
