On the other hand, the Board of Directors approved 75 winning projects of line 4/2017 of the Competitive Development Fund for Audiovisual Media (FOMECA), of which 44 correspond to the format of weekly radio program and 31 to the daily format. This line is intended for those social organizations that own sound broadcasting services; broadcasters of indigenous peoples with national legal personality; and non-profit social organizations, whose corporate purpose includes the dissemination, propagation and/or production of content. In this way, we continue to advance in the promotion of the production of quality programs and content that contribute to diversity, plurality, construction of citizenship, social inclusion and federalization of the production of radio content communication projects.
