History
editThe organization began in 1969 with the acquisition of Radio Regalo AM in Barranquilla, which was later renamed Radio Olímpica AM in honor of the supermarket and pharmacy chain created by the Char family. Olímpica initially expanded on the Caribbean coast through AM stations before transitioning some of its stations to FM. In 1985, it established its first station in Bogotá.
Its main network is Olímpica Stereo, dedicated to tropical music (salsa, merengue, vallenato). Other networks include Radio Tiempo, La Reina, MIX, Play 103.7 FM, and La KY, the latter two located in Panama. The group also owns Emisora Atlántico, a Barranquilla-based station focused on news and sports.
