In order to continue transmitting its traditional, excellent audio and signal quality to its listeners, Candelaria Radio of Tierra Amarilla, Chile, through the use of Comrex Opal technology, is one of the few radio stations in the Atacama region that generates and produces its programming from home during this pandemic.

Because of the health crisis caused by COVID-19 in the region, radio executives did not hesitate to strengthen their station through technology, allowing their renowned broadcasters and communicators to work from home.
