From Nossa Senhora do Desterro to the Ilha da Magia
Florianópolis grew out of a village the Portuguese founded in 1673 called Nossa Senhora do Desterro, built on an island long inhabited by the Indigenous Carijó people before colonization. The city's nickname, Ilha da Magia, the Island of Magic, comes from a tradition of witch legends, fishermen's folklore and ghost stories passed down through local families, documented by folklorist Franklin Cascaes, who spent the 1960s cataloguing the island's beaches and the tales attached to them. Landmarks like the steel Hercílio Luz suspension bridge and the downtown Mercado Público anchor a city that The New York Times named a destination of the year back in 2009.
A National Pop Signal on a Beach-Lined Island
Jovem Pan's own network history runs back to 1942's Rádio Panamericana in São Paulo, renamed Jovem Pan in 1965 and connected nationwide through the Jovem Pan Sat satellite system launched in 1994, the infrastructure that reaches this Florianópolis affiliate today. The station's mix of pop, rock and dance programming fits an island economy built heavily around tourism, where beaches from the luxury development of Jurerê Internacional to the surf breaks at Praia Mole draw visitors who want upbeat, chart-driven radio as much as locals do.
Pop Radio for Brazil's Most-Searched Island Destination
With more than forty named beaches scattered across the island, and a visitor season that keeps Florianópolis among Brazil's most-searched travel destinations, Jovem Pan's national pop format gives both residents and tourists a familiar soundtrack wherever on the island they happen to be listening.
