Abstract

Federal FM Radio is linked to the Federal University of Pelotas and was the first educational radio station to operate in a Modulated Frequency channel in Rio Grande do Sul. In its 37 years of existence, a brief story was told at the official website. The research for this dissertation consists of a historiographical work that intends to cover the history of the radio broadcaster perspective and the transformations and challenges with the new technologies, as well as the daily impact that is part of the process of the history of federal FM. The study presents a methodology of oral history, in its thematic aspect, besides documentary and printed sources. Memory makes possible the knowledge of the past, a reality that was often forgotten by most people, or was not preserved in the documents. In this sense, the research presented here will mainly use the methodology of oral history, in its thematic aspect, in addition to documentary and printed sources. The narratives of those who participated and / or participate in the group of professionals of the radio station allow the analysis of how these workers crossed the moments of technological innovation allowing the station to survive as a vehicle of communication. It is concluded that the changes experienced by these professionals make difficult the daily life because they have been adapted, often to the extinction of functions and reduction of positions and teams within the radio.
