Radio La Primerísima is a prominent radio station based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded on December 27, 1985, it has been a significant voice in Nicaraguan media for over three decades. Initially established as a state-owned radio during the Sandinista government, it transitioned to worker ownership in 1990 when employees formed the Association of Nicaraguan Broadcasting Professionals (APRANIC).
The station is known for its progressive, pro-Sandinista editorial stance and its commitment to social justice issues. It broadcasts on 91.7 FM and is also available online, reaching listeners across Nicaragua and beyond. La Primerísima prides itself on being "the people's station," with a focus on live programming and audience participation.
Its programming includes news, political analysis, cultural shows, and music. The station is particularly noted for its coverage of social movements, workers' rights, and its critical stance on issues affecting the poor and marginalized. During times of crisis or natural disasters, La Primerísima has played a crucial role in providing information and coordinating community responses.
Despite facing various challenges, including political pressures and economic difficulties, Radio La Primerísima has maintained its position as one of Nicaragua's leading radio stations, known for its independent voice and commitment to social causes.
