Furthermore, CONATEL draws the attention of the general public to the recurrent and undesirable situation of nuisances created by the interference between radio stations on the FM band.

In order to find a definitive solution and ensure the governance of the sector, CONATEL encourages media managers to contact the Directorate General of the institution and urges them to respect the thresholds set for the emission parameters as well as the established standards for the power and height of antenna towers.

The Directorate-General reminds the radio stations concerned of the obligation to comply with the requirements of the decree of 17 September 1987 on the payment of annual fees for the use of frequencies. This will enable the regulatory body to strengthen its technical capacity and better serve the population.
