FM Center

FM Center is a radio network in Venezuela based on Caracas. It was founded by Rodolfo Rodríguez García and is the largest radio network of that country, owning 64 AM and FM radio stations nationwide and one internet-based. It is divided into three sub-networks: AM Center, Circuito La Romántica and Circuito Fiesta. FM Center also delivers other radio services as news (FM Center es Noticia) and the popular traffic report with Alejandro Cañizales aboard a red Bell Ranger helicopter, Traffic Center. In January 1997, with Martha Rodríguez Miranda as General Director and Enzo Cassella as vicepresident of programming and production, FM Center starts broadcasting their signal in Venezuela. For that time, the network owned only 5 radio stations: 88.9 (later to become "La Romántica"), HOT 94.1, Estrella 96.3, Fiesta 106.5 and 93.9 (Ciudad Bolívar). Only the latter was not located in the capital Caracas. Already in 1998, FM Center swept with Venezuelan awards Premios Mara de Oro for their performance in the industry. This favored the expansion of the network towards the rest of the country. At the start of the 21st century, AM Center was created and the radio station 91.9 from Caracas was added in their stations portfolio as Life 91.9.
