Band FM is a nationwide Brazilian radio network owned by Grupo Bandeirantes. Founded in 1976, it has five self-owned stations and over 40 affiliates across Brazil. The network primarily focuses on popular music, targeting a middle-class audience aged 25-45, with a 60% female listenership.
Band FM's programming includes a mix of Brazilian popular music genres such as funk, pagode, sertanejo, and pop. Some of its nationally broadcasted shows include Band Coruja, Band Bom Dia, A Hora do Ronco, Manhã Show, and Tarde na Band. These programs feature music, prizes, information, and audience participation.
The network has adapted its musical offerings over the years to match changing audience preferences and industry trends. In recent years, Band FM has regained its position as a leading radio station in São Paulo, competing with other popular networks in the region.
While maintaining a national presence, Band FM also allows its affiliates to produce local content and emphasize regional musical preferences, creating a balance between nationwide programming and localized offerings.
