The BBC Brazilian service BBC Brasil has further expanded its presence on the Brazilian media market through partnerships with CBN, RadioBras and online provider, Terra.com.

Following a deal signed with CBN, the main national all-news radio network in Brazil, the rebroadcaster will now take up BBC Brasil’s two new 30-minute programmes.

Cooperation is gaining momentum between BBC and its rebroadcasting partner in Brazil, state radio and TV network Radiobras. For the first time, the BBC’s international charity, BBC World Service Trust, has organised a special workshop for Radiobras journalists under its “Who Cares?” project.

The BBC is also expanding its online presence in Brazil. As a result of the deal between BBC and Terra.com – one of the largest access and content providers in Latin America – a whole new audience will now have access to BBC online product in Portuguese. The multimedia content of BBC Brazilian Service online site – bbcbrasil.com – will be distributed across Terra.com portals in Brazil.
