HIT FM the story
Started in 1988, HIT FM Network traces its roots all the way back to 1979 when the pioneering disco and soul-oriented
station Disco 91 hit the airwaves, soon to be followed by Studio 102, a station that pioneered the European dance radio format.
As Studio 102 led the way, the station introduced a host of new European hits to a growing audience, much thanks to the special contacts the station had developed with other private broadcasters in France and Italy, enabling the station to feature Euro and Italo hits not normally heard north of Brussels.

When we innovate - others imitate
Our journey from a local pioneer to a syndicated network had begun and the station did also introduce Scandinavian acts to European programmers. Swedish acts were playlisted abroad thanks to HIT FM, most notably on Kiss FM, whose programmer was an early adopter, introducing a variety of Scandinavian acts - from Roxette to Paul Rein - to the Riverians on an exclusive basis. An English-language syndicated Scandinavian music show was also launched at MIDEM.
