AM Cidade

AM Cidade (Portuguese for "AM City") is a Brazilian classification used to identify radio stations that broadcast in the Amplitude Modulation (AM) band and primarily serve urban areas. It signifies a station's focus on local news, information, and entertainment tailored to the specific needs and interests of the city it serves. This designation often implies a stronger commitment to community engagement and local programming compared to stations targeting broader, regional audiences. While not a legally enforced classification, "AM Cidade" serves as a marketing and programming descriptor widely understood within the Brazilian radio broadcasting industry. The term differentiates these urban-focused AM stations from those emphasizing music formats, religious content, or rural news.
