Radio Neo (JOCW-FM), stylized Radio NEO, was a multilingual commercial radio station based in central Japan in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. It was set up in 2014 to fill in the gap left by the former Kowa Company-owned station Radio-i, which shut down in 2010 and using the same frequency and transmitter; and was originally a local subsidiary of the Tokyo-based InterFM. On August 25, 2016, a separate company, Radio NEO Corporation, was created, which took over operations of the station on December 1, 2016. Due to financial difficulties and the decision taken by Kinoshita Corporation, its owner, to exit the radio business, it shut down on June 30, 2020. The physical company was liquidated in 2022 and its legal entity ceased to exist.
