LOS40 Venezuela

LOS40 Venezuela is the Venezuelan face of the world's most travelled Top 40 brand - the Spanish-born network that began in Madrid in 1966 as a chart show and grew into a network, and whose slogan, Toda la onda, has been shorthand for the chart from Madrid to Mexico City to Caracas for decades.

The format is the brand: pop and Top 40 with reggaeton and Latin hits leading, the current chart of the Spanish-speaking world, bright and fast, twenty-four hours a day. In Venezuela the FM era of the brand has faded, but the stream keeps it present, carried by the streaming portals that keep the country's dial alive.

The stream runs around the clock - no sign-up, no local app needed, press play - and appears in the Venezuelan sections of the global directories, a click away for the diaspora. For a generation that grew up with the brand on FM, the logo alone is nostalgia.
