Radio "A" La Radio del Amor was a broadcasting radiostation with the ownership of Corporación Aeropuerto's (Airport Corporacion Inc.), broadcasting its signal through FM and later on internet through its official page (in some cities) from Peru to all over the world. Radio A characterised with its particular style of promoting Boleros and Ballads from the 70s, 80s, 90s and the current ones.

History

First years

Its founder and owner, Dr. Dagoberto Láinez, politician and broadcaster of the History of the Radio in Peru. Radio A, radiostation which appeared on Valentine's Day in 1984, initially on 95.1 MHz of the FM, and after on 94.9 MHz of the FM Stereo. In the beginning the station played on Boleros, then Dance Music and finally consolidating itself at Romantic Ballads in Spanish first in uninterrupted way without locutions until 1985, in with the slogan "La Hispanoamericana del Dial" ("The Hispanic American of the Dial"), the DJ's staff of the broadcasting station was formed with Carlos Cabrera, Doris Camino, Julio Mayo, Elio Tello and Paco Espinoza. In that year, Mónica Delta, Mario Guimarey and Agatha Lys also passed through Radio A's microphones.

Peak age

Radio A became a strong competitor of RBC La Estación FM which also played on Ballads in Spanish. At the beginning of November 1990 it was that the direct competence of Radio A which is Ritmo Romántica with the same format in music has appeared. The broadcasting radiostation was the standard-bearer of the radial group that was conformed with Sabor Mix 95.5 MHz (then by 8 December 1997 changed for Z Rock & Pop) and R-700 La Grande ("The Big") on 700 kHz.

Controversy with RBC

Towards the end of 1986, Radio A Excelente was a youth station which took a few months on air with the very young announcers staff commanded by the remembered Julio Mayo. After a short period of broadcasting continued music without interruptions, the radiostation executives thought as acceptable to innovate the FM with new voices (among the ones that was found on this server). Until then, the audience of the radiostation was very poor, in part by the ignorance of its existence by part of the public and by the overpower supremacy of RBC La Estación, a leader radiostation in difussionate uniquely Spanish music in an age of strong influence of the Anglo-Saxon music.

The end of the radiostation

Nothing made it indicate that the radiostation would reach its final on 11 November 2007 (day of Radio A's last broadcasting); on the next day at 00:00 hrs, it would change the musical rhythm and it would give way to a new radial project that weeks later would be Radiomix. Some of its DJ's became part of its sister station Z Rock & Pop except Carlos Quinto, who stayed in the same booth with most of Z Rock & Pop's DJ's who left that for the brand-new station.
