Radio Cooperativa is one of Chile's most important and long-running radio stations. Founded on February 16, 1935 in Valparaíso, it began as a communication medium for the Cooperativa Vitalicia Income Society. Over the years, it evolved into a major news and information broadcaster.
Currently based in Santiago, Radio Cooperativa broadcasts on 93.3 FM in the capital and has a network of stations across Chile. It is known for its comprehensive news coverage, including its flagship news program "El Diario de Cooperativa" which has been on air since 1976.
The station's programming focuses primarily on news, current affairs, culture, music, and sports. It provides extensive coverage of major sporting events, including Chilean national football team matches and international tournaments.
Radio Cooperativa played a significant role during Chile's military dictatorship (1973-1990), becoming known for its opposition stance and for reporting on human rights violations when such information was often suppressed.
Today, Radio Cooperativa continues to be a leading voice in Chilean media, offering round-the-clock news coverage and analysis, both on air and through its digital platforms. Its slogan "All the news, Every day, All day long" reflects its commitment to keeping Chileans informed.
