📻 The first radio station in Portugal was founded in 1922 and was called Rádio Clube Português (RCP). It was the country's only radio station until 1927 when Rádio Lisboa was founded.

📻 One of the major players in the Portuguese radio market is Rádio Renascença, a national station that has been on the air since 1923 and is known for its news and information programming, as well as its classical music programming.
