Class Radio Sound Design Workshop

The radio has been reaching a major role, such as entertainment, information and scientific divulgation. The move to broadcast to the Internet has allowed new radios to emerge around the world. It is believed that in the coming years, the number of online radios will be much higher than what exists today in modeled frequencies, therefrom the relevance of this discipline in the Communication science course.
