This article offers a critical review of Brazil’s
Indigenous language broadcasting landscape, from
traditional analogue transmission to podcasts and
online radio. The study introduces Brazil’s
Indigenous linguistic diversity and locates the current
vitality of Indigenous languages within Brazil’s constitutional provisions and broadcasting legislation that
both support and impede programming in languages
other than Portuguese. Following an assessment of
media penetration and uptake, and a contrastive
review of four Brazilian radio stations that have either
substantial Indigenous content or a dedicated focus
on Indigenous issues, the article concludes with an
assessment of the outlook and challenges for programming in this sector.
