Almost 80,000 families can receive a new digital satellite dish for free in PI; see the deadline
Nearly 79,000 families in Piauí are eligible to receive a free new digital satellite dish as part of the Brasil Antenado program until March 13.
The Brasil Antenado program, initiated by the Brazilian Ministry of Communications and the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), aims to equip approximately 79,000 families across 63 cities in Piauí with a new digital satellite dish at no cost. This initiative is designed to provide residents with access to open TV broadcasting, featuring over 100 channels, along with high-quality sound and stable signal strength. The program is targeted at low-income families who are registered in the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico).
Under this program, eligible families are encouraged to schedule the installation of their digital satellite dish as soon as possible to avoid the rush as the deadline approaches on March 13. Interested beneficiaries can make appointments via the official website or by calling the designated toll-free number, which also offers assistance via WhatsApp. The installation process includes both the provision and setup of the digital satellite dish kit for qualifying low-income households, enhancing their access to essential media services.
A list of cities participating in the Brasil Antenado initiative includes Alagoinha do Piauí, Alegrete do Piauí, and several others, indicating a broad reach intended to benefit numerous communities in the region. The program marks a significant step towards improving media accessibility for underserved populations in Piauí, potentially impacting educational and social engagement among participating families by providing them with reliable television services.
