A newer station that quickly became the city's most listened
Radio Sol 89.1 FM launched on September 15, 2013, broadcasting from the Las Brisas del Orinoco sector of Maturín, the capital of Monagas state, according to a Venezuelan business directory listing for the station. The station is part of Grupo Radios Oriente, a broadcaster that operates a cluster of stations across eastern Venezuela, with several signals concentrated in Maturín alongside others reaching Cumaná. Its flagship news program, La Central, has become central enough to the station's identity that it is credited with helping make Radio Sol the most listened-to station in Maturín, a notable claim for a station barely more than a decade old in a city with a much older broadcasting history.
Broadcasting from an oil boomtown with deep carnival roots
Maturín was founded on December 7, 1760, by Franciscan missionary Lucas de Zaragoza, but the modern city took shape around the 1928 discovery of the Quiriquire oil field just north of town, a find that turned it into a corporate and industrial hub for Venezuela's petroleum industry, according to Britannica's entry on the city. Alongside that industrial identity, Maturín hosts one of eastern Venezuela's most vibrant carnival celebrations, filling the streets with parades and music in a way that rivals the festivities of far larger Venezuelan cities. That mix of oil-town energy and carnival spirit runs through Radio Sol's programming, which leans into tropical rhythms and youth culture rather than a strictly formal news-and-talk format.
