Rádio Paris Lisboa received its license on March 6, 1989, the licensee was Sociedade Franco-Portuguesa de Comunicação, S.A.; broadcasts began in September of that year.[1] In 1996, RFI became its major shareholder.[2] In November 2004, it announced its intent to cease all news operation in French, firing all relevant staff. It also planned a new, more commercial, programming line, countering the French Government's plan, in order to increase its ratings.[3]
On March 7, 2006, Rádio Paris-Lisboa was renamed Rádio Europa Lisboa and started airing commercial advertising. The station was acquired by Rede A, owned by Luís Montez, also owner of Rádio Capital.[4] In February 2008, it joined a European radio network of sixteen stations in thirteen countries, representing Portugal.[5]
The station closed in 2011. The initial plan involved former SIC strongman Emídio Rangel acquiring the frequency, turning it into a competitor to TSF.[6] The plan fell and in June, Montez acquired the station again.[7] Later that year, the frequency was occupied by Rádio Nostalgia.
