Located in territories strongly affected by the armed confrontation, peace radio stations are projected as sui generis scenarios in the Colombian transitional horizon. Consequently, the article records the findings obtained in a first systematic exercise of the emergence and consolidation of radio stations, which includes learning, difficulties, challenges and expectations.

With an ethnographic approach, it concluded that peace radio stations have to build their own identity that separates them from the political interests of the government, as well as discuss the political narratives that want to associate them with the interests of insurgent groups. Peace radio stations are scenarios that provide the opportunity to foster communicative and informative ecosystems that offer different perspectives on the realities experienced in territories where violence still persists, at the local and regional level.
