Free Brazilian air-time

I just read an account of the Brazilian presidential campaign that made it sound like free air time for candidates is dealt out on a strange revolving basis, where one of the candidates gets most of the air time one month, then another the next, and another next -- leading to corresponding wild rises and falls in the polls. Is this true, or was the account garbled? And if it is true, how did such a system come into being?
