Power FM is an English language radio station broadcasting around the globe. Power FM began broadcasting in October 1995 using a small 1 W FM transmitter on a roof in Los Gigantes. Over the years, it became the largest English speaking radio station in Spain. At the height of the success of the station, the website had over 2.000.000 hits every month, with visitors from all over the world, webcams, studios on all the major Canary Islands and 24-hour broadcasting. The station was sold to a private firm in 2006, and it closed on June 30, 2010. In 2013 the station returned to the air with a team of former presenters. Early days On October 22, 1995, Power FM began broadcasting on 91.6 fm to the village of Los Gigantes in Tenerife's south-west. Its founder, Gavin Watson, hosted the first program. In the early days, the station was based in the back room of an electronics shop. Within two years coverage had expanded to the entire south coast of Tenerife, including Los Cristianos and Las Americas. Network expansion In 2001, Power FM was broadcasting to Tenerife, La Gomera and Gran Canaria, and in 2002 it launched in Lanzarote, giving Power FM the most English-language radio coverage in the Canaries. At this time the station went through a period of rebranding, dropping the former slogan "Your Friendly Radio Station" to adopt a new one, "Seven Islands, One Station". In 2003, recognizing some in the Gran Canaria area could not receive the station, two additional transmitter sites were set up to expand the network. 2006 re-launch In 2006, Power FM was bought by Kaldec Investments S.L. and the station went through a period of development, including new studios in Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. Power FM also set up a classic hit station called Gold FM. On the 30 June 2010, the station ceased broadcasting and went off air for a period of three years.
