Peru. A total of 4,364,922 Peruvians benefited from accessing radio and television services granted by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, MTC, through 441 new authorizations granted in more than 20 regions during the year 2022.
Of the total authorizations, 324 were given to provide the service on radio and 117 destined to broadcast signal on VHF television, in order to promote education and national integration, in each locality of the country. Likewise, 72% were for commercial purposes, 26% for educational purposes; and 2% for Community purposes.
