Radio Panamericana is one of Peru's longest-running and most popular radio stations, broadcasting since December 1, 1953. Based in Lima, it is owned by Grupo Panamericana de Radios. The station's programming focuses primarily on Latin music genres, including salsa, Latin urban, and ballads.
Throughout its history, Radio Panamericana has adapted its musical offerings to reflect changing tastes. In its early years, it played instrumental music and provided news. During the 1970s, it became known for playing the latest rock and pop hits. Today, it caters to a young adult audience with its tropical and Latin music format.
The station broadcasts on 101.1 FM in Lima and reaches a national audience through satellite transmission and repeater stations across Peru. Radio Panamericana is credited with helping launch the careers of many international Latin artists in Peru through its influential programming.
With a mix of music shows and some talk programming, Radio Panamericana continues to be a major player in Peru's radio landscape after over 70 years on the air. It celebrated its 70th anniversary in December 2023, marking a significant milestone in Peruvian broadcasting history.
