Sky Radio 99.2 – The Soundtrack of Ioannina’s Heart
In the heart of Ioannina, Sky Radio 99.2 has been a defining presence in the Epirus region since its modest beginnings in September 1986. Born in an era when radio was still a personal adventure, the station began as a small, underground project run by a group of young music enthusiasts broadcasting from makeshift home studios. What started as an act of passion soon became a beloved voice for a generation.
In those early years, Sky Radio was fueled by creativity rather than commercial ambition. The team played music guided purely by mood and taste — from Greek favorites to international pop hits — creating a sound that felt spontaneous and authentic. Listeners could call directly into the studio, chatting freely with the presenters in an open, unfiltered way that captured the true spirit of community radio.
Running a station under such conditions was never easy. Equipment was expensive, funding was limited, and yet, the station’s legendary gatherings and the unwavering support of its audience kept it alive. The breakthrough came in November 1992, when Sky Radio officially transitioned from a passionate hobby into a professional broadcaster, solidifying its place in the modern Greek radio landscape.
Today, Sky Radio 99.2 continues to reflect the vibrant energy of Ioannina. Its programming blends Greek, pop, and Top 40 hits, creating a soundtrack that resonates with both local listeners and those who have moved beyond Epirus but still feel connected to its spirit. With experienced hosts, carefully curated playlists, and an enduring commitment to quality, the station has managed to keep its original essence while evolving with the times.
Nearly four decades later, Sky Radio 99.2 stands as more than just a station on the dial. It’s a living piece of Ioannina’s culture — a reminder that radio, at its best, is built on passion, authenticity, and the simple joy of sharing music that moves people.
