Then the programming calls for "Celtic and new age" overnight until 5 a.m. The early morning show until 7 a.m. is more classical.
Radio America
780 AM and 850 AM
Radio America is another holding of Sociedad Periodistica Extra Ltda, which also owns Diario Extra. The programming includes a lot of talk, public affairs and interviews with notables. There are three news shows a day, 5:30 and 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. And there is direct transmission from the station's Web page. Like all Costa Rican media outlets, the station is heavy on sports, mostly soccer.
Every summary of Costa Rican radio should mention Radio Peace International, although the exact location of its online broadcasts may vary. For years the station broadcast shortwave from the campus of the University for Peace west of San Jose. Alas, war broke out between the entities, and the radio station got its walking papers and lost its ability to braodcast shortwave. But it is available online with a programming sharing arrangement with Pacifica Radio.
