This article explores the role played by the Portuguese radio station Rádio Club Português (RCP) as a propaganda tool in the Spanish Civil War, in which Portugal supported the coup d'état against the Second Republic. The study has three fundamental objectives: to analyze the contents of the radio station's broadcasts, to investigate its propaganda strategy, and to evaluate its impact on public opinion in Spain. With this objective, qualitative techniques and diverse historical sources were used, the analysis of which made it possible to conclude that the RCP planned an effective propaganda campaign against the Spanish democratic government that had great influence in the course of the armed conflict. The RCP increased the potency of its broadcasts, hired pro-Franco Spanish newscasters, and transmitted program contents favorable to the rebels throughout the course of the war.
