Plus FM is a Brazilian radio network based in Fortaleza, Ceará. The radio station was founded on March 23, 2013 and belongs to the Don7 Media Group, owned by journalist and businessman Donizete Arruda. The radio network is characterized by its style of popular music programming, reserving space for regional journalism, the main journalistic program being Ceará News, broadcast in the morning. Its stations are concentrated in the state of Ceará, in the municipalities of Aracati, Cascavel, Catarina, Crateús, Missão Velha, Pacajus, Redenção, Iguatu, Paraipaba, Santa Quitéria and Sobral.[1]
On June 14, 2018, the Official Gazette of the Municipality of Sobral published Decree No. 2055, signed by Mayor Ivo Gomes, expropriating the land on which the headquarters of the Plus FM branch in Sobral is located.[4] At the time, the action was part of the Alto do Cristo urbanization project, which provided for the requalification of the Alto do Cristo region.[5] The decree was defined as "dictatorial" by the website Ceará News 7, which belongs to the group that controls the radio station, since it would attack stations that are critical of Ivo Gomes' management, in this case Plus FM and Paraíso FM, which also received a decree of expropriation of land.[6]
