One Signal in a Multi-City Network
Hroma is not a single station but a network, broadcasting on at least four frequencies across Greece, including 105.8, 88.2, 98.5 and 91.9, with a base in Thessaloniki. Its on-air motto, "Βάλε Χρώμα και αύριο τα τραγούδια της ζωής σου," roughly translates to "Add color, and tomorrow these will be the songs of your life," a tagline that fits a station built around music people want to hear again. The 88.2 frequency carries that same identity specifically to Volos, giving the city its own dedicated piece of a broader Greek radio brand.
Broadcasting From the Homeland of Jason and the Argonauts
Volos gives this frequency a backdrop few cities can match. The modern city sits on the site of ancient Iolcos, which Greek mythology names as the departure point for Jason and the Argonauts on their voyage aboard the Argo in search of the Golden Fleece, according to Wikipedia's entry on Volos. The surrounding region of Magnesia was believed in myth to be the birthplace of the Centaurs, half-man half-horse creatures said to have tutored heroes like Achilles on the slopes of nearby Mount Pelion. Volos itself is a relatively young city by Greek standards, rebuilt largely in modern form after catastrophic earthquakes struck in 1955, and today it ranks as one of mainland Greece's busiest commercial ports, connecting by ferry to the Sporades islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos.
