One of Italy's Historic 1970s Local Stations
Radio FM Faleria first went to air on November 15, 1978, founded by Sauro Vergari, according to OnlineRadioBox's profile of the station, which also places it inside an exclusive club of roughly 100 historic Italian stations that launched during the 1970s wave of private, independent broadcasting. That decade reshaped Italian radio entirely: the state broadcasting monopoly cracked open in the mid-1970s as private local stations began appearing across the country for the first time, and Italy's trade press has since marked 2026 as the 50th anniversary of that same wave of local radio and television stations. Radio FM Faleria is one of the survivors from that founding generation, still broadcasting under the name it launched with instead of folding into a national network.
Still Rooted on the Marche Coast
The station broadcasts from studios on Via Ancona in Porto Sant'Elpidio, a seaside town on Italy's Marche coast, carried on FM 104.5 and on DAB+ channel 10B across the region, according to its own official website. Nearly fifty years after launch, the station has stayed a strictly regional signal rather than expanding into a national chain, giving Porto Sant'Elpidio and the surrounding fermano coast a station that still carries its original local identity.
A Dance Floor Built Into the Schedule
The current lineup leans heavily on dance and house music alongside oldies and Italian hits, with programs like Dance in FM and the house-focused Love to be... The Global Connection Show anchoring the club sound, while Master Top 30 runs as the station's own weekly chart. Alongside the dance programming sit nostalgia shows such as Anni 60 & Made in Italy and an Anni '70 soul show hosted by Marco Caprini, plus Blues On Air hosted by Dario Aspesani, a Comedy Radio Show, and Figli Delle Stelle hosted by Andrea D.B. That mix of club music and decades-spanning nostalgia gives a station nearly fifty years old a schedule built as much for dancing as for reminiscing.
