About this app

The history of Rádio Castro begins in 1949 with the interest of some citizens of Castro society in establishing a radio station in the city of Castro (PR). At the beginning of the 20th century, Castro already had a telegraph, printing press, newspaper, cinema, theater society, and social clubs. This fact led its society to construct a discourse that positioned itself ahead of the times and connected to innovations. And it was this feeling that led thirteen citizens of Castro to become interested in the modernity of the moment: radio. Numerous receivers existed in the city, but they picked up stations from Curitiba and São Paulo. There was no local station. Thus, on November 10, 1949, the first articles of incorporation of Rádio Castro were signed, a limited liability company. The following individuals were part of this partnership: José Waldemar Iucksh, Feliciano José de Menezes, Dario de Macedo, José Pedro Novaes Rosas, Luiz Prata Mestre, Eduardo José de Quadros, Francisco Cavalin, Urias dos Santos, Pedro Kaled, João Moreira de Melo, Lauro Grein Filho, Alberto Moreira de Melo, and Ciro Novaes Vilella.

The thirteen partners' first action was to import an English transmitter. Since none of them had any experience in radio communication or broadcasting, this opened up space for local talent in a new professional field. On February 4, 1950, Rádio Castro went on the air for the first time with the experimental program "A Voz do Iapó" (The Voice of Iapó). Three names stood out in the company's early years: Douglas Pereira, whose emphasis was on talent shows and sports news; Dejame Tolentino Barbosa, known as Coronel Barbosa, who favored gaucho music; And Compadre Caju, who focused on country music and is still on the air today.

Broadcasting on amplitude modulation (AM) for almost 68 years, Rádio Castro underwent power increases and changes in its call signs over time. Its first transmitter, a Byngton & Co., had a capacity of 250 Watts and 820 kilocycles and transmitted under the call sign ZYS 21. This equipment was replaced by a 500-Watt transmitter, changing the call sign to ZYE 220. In the 1970s, Rádio Castro began broadcasting under the call sign ZYJ 1130, which had two transmitters, one vacuum tube and one transistorized. On December 22, 2017, Rádio Castro began broadcasting on frequency modulation (FM), under the call sign 95.5, with a new and modern transmitter, beginning a new era for the station.
