A comunicação pública a serviço do privado e do político: o caso da TV Brasil Central em Goiás. Estudos, Goiânia, v. 38, n. 4, p. 551-570, out./dez. 2011.e- 1983-781Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20887This article seeks to study one of the oldest state broadcas-ters in the country, Central Brazil TV, owned by the State of Goiás, and, from the characteristic elements of public communication, it searches the extent to which modes of operation and management and ownership of content and relationships with society brought by this television can meet the criteria of communication and public broadcasting. In this context, we show that the station in question develops a practice of appropriating public by political groups and private interests, mischaracterizing its public function, rather than its legal state.porAcesso AbertoComunicação públicaRadiodifusão públicaTelevisão estatalTV Brasil CentralPublic communicationPublic broadcastingState televisionTV Central BrazilArtigohttp://dx.doi.org/10.18224/est.v38i4.2326
