Abstract
Like most authoritarian regimes, the military dictatorships that ruled over the Southern Cone nations of Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile sought to control media messaging and restrict access of citizens to alternative and/or anti-regime media. With its higher technical requirements and shorter broadcast range, television was relatively easy for state authorities to control. Radio was a different story, however. Not only was it possible—albeit dangerous—for regime opponents to emit clandestine broadcasts on occupied or unoccupied national frequencies, listeners could tune in to foreign stations to hear uncensored news reports, the voices of exiles, and messages of resistance and encouragement.
