Abstract

his paper analyzes information obtained from the “Pleitos” system – a data base that gathers all requests for concession of radio and TV stations submitted to the Brazilian Ministry of Communications. The sample is composed of all processes related to the concession of community stations that were sponsored by professional politicians in the period of 2003 and 2004. The results show that 70.97% of 503 authorizations of community radio stations got support from professional politicians. They also show that the concession processes that were sponsored by professional politicians have their probability of success multiplied by 4.41.
