Emissores Associados de Lisboa

Emissores Associados de Lisboa was a grouping of Portuguese radio stations active during the New State regime.[1]

The station started broadcasting some time before the end of World War II, being one of the few radio stations that survived a series of radio station closures in the 1940s.[2]

EAL ran from the association of four radio stations, Rádio Graça, Rádio Peninsular, Rádio Voz de Lisboa and Clube Radiofónico de Portugal.[3] The stations covered southern Portugal.[4] It counterpart for northern Portugal was Emissores do Norte Reunidos.[5]

One of its four stations (Rádio Voz de Lisboa) had a key role in the Carnation Revolution, on the night of 24 April 1974. At 22:55, the station played E depois do adeus as a launching signal. Minutes before the signal was played, the station was plagued by technical issues.[6]

The radio conglomerate ended per a 2 December 1975 ruling that nationalized several commercial radio stations, integrating them into the state-owned RDP network.[7] The station was replaced by RDP Programa 3's Lisbon service.[8]
