Latino Radio Service (LRS):
Broadcast Schedule
The broadcast schedule for LRS's
Spanish- and Portuguese-language programming is still under development and
therefore subject to frquent change. We hope to have a
complete program grid available soon.
It should be noted that if Radio Bilingüe's audio stream
should become unavailable, LRS will usually switch to Radio Netherland's Spanish- and Portuguese-language live Internet audio stream for all
programming until Radio Bilingüe's programs become available again. While
Radio Netherland's live audio stream includes some programs that would not
normally be included on LRS (such as Europarade--top 40
European music hits--and classical music), it is currently our only alternative
when Radio Bilingüe live stream is not available. Here is the
program
schedule for Radio Netherland's live Spanish- and Portuguese-language
service.
Here is the general plan of our current broadcast schedule
for Spanish-language programs:
News and Information Programs
Latino Music Programs
Portuguese-language news programs from Radio Netherlands
and Radio France Internationale can be heard every morning
for 30 minutes starting at 2:30, 5:30 and 9:30 am and evenings Monday through
Friday at 6:30 pm (all
Portuguese-language broadcasts start on the half-hour; all broadcasts starting
at the top of the hour are in Spanish)
If you can understand Spanish, you can
also understand at least some Portuguese. And the more you listen, the more you
will learn and understand the language spoken by Latin America's largest (in
both area and population) country (that's Brazil if you haven't guessed) There
are also people in Portugal (imagine that!) and Africa who speak Portuguese.
Try it, Portuguese is muito cool and the only way to samba!
For the convenience of Spanish-speakers learning
Portuguese, corresponding Spanish-language programs have been scheduled the
preceding half hour. This way one can first listen to the news and
features in
Spanish and then hear a similar program in Portuguese, facilitating one's comprehension
and acquisition of Portuguese.
If you are a Portuguese teacher whose students can hear
the Latino Radio Service, let us know if you'd like modifications to our
Portuguese-language schedule.
