In the heart of the season, as the streets of one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean, Rovinj, fill with life and energy, an event of special significance for the local community and numerous visitors is being prepared. It is a celebration of a great jubilee, the tenth anniversary of the existence of the radio station that has become a synonym for the voice of the city in the past decade – Rovinj FM. The big birthday celebration is scheduled for next Friday, August 8, 2025, starting at 9 PM, at one of the most attractive open-air stages in Istria, the area of the former railway station.
This location was not chosen by chance. With a unique and unrepeatable backdrop that offers a direct view of the old town core of Rovinj, illuminated by night lights, and with the recognizable silhouette of the church of St. Euphemia, the stage of the former railway station provides the perfect ambiance for a celebration that combines music, community, and love for the city. The organizers from Rovinj FM announce an evening filled with musical surprises and performances by attractive artists, promising an atmosphere worthy of the first ten years of broadcasting.
A Decade on the Air: A Bold Beginning and an Identity That Captivates
The story of Rovinj FM began exactly ten years ago, more precisely on August 10, 2015. On that day, as part of the company Media FI d.o.o. from Rovinj, a radio program was launched with a clear vision – to be a different, more urban, and fresher voice in the Istrian airwaves. From the very beginning, the station profiled itself as a medium that is not afraid to move away from established formats. Having won a part of the frequency spectrum, Rovinj FM boldly stepped onto the scene with the aim of offering the public a dynamic and modern program that at the same time deeply respects and nurtures local identity.
It was precisely this combination of a modern approach and roots in local values that became the key to their success. Listeners quickly recognized the enthusiasm and new energy, and Rovinj FM, in a relatively short time, became an indispensable soundtrack in homes, cars, and business premises throughout Istria. Their slogan of a "young, urban, and different" radio station was not just a marketing phrase, but translated into a daily program that won the hearts of audiences of all generations.
A Fusion of Modern and Traditional: The Secret to Success on the Frequencies
One of the fundamental pillars on which the popularity of Rovinj FM rests is its carefully curated music program. It represents an eclectic mix of the latest world and domestic hits, timeless evergreens that evoke nostalgia, and, what is extremely important for the Istrian peninsula, the nurturing of a rich musical heritage through Istrian melodies. This musical diversity ensures that everyone can find something for themselves, but the program schedule goes much further than just music.
Special attention is paid to the news program, which brings listeners relevant local news, service information, and stories from the community. Through its work, Rovinj FM actively participates in the promotion of cultural, traditional, and social values that define Rovinj and its surroundings. What further sets them apart is their commitment to preserving local dialects. In a world of globalization, where local speeches are slowly disappearing, Rovinj FM has taken on the important role of a promoter and guardian of the Istrian "besida" (speech), giving it space on the air and bringing it closer to younger generations in a contemporary and accessible way. Thus, the station is not only a medium but also an active participant in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage.
A Music Scene with a View of the Old Town Core
Next Friday's birthday celebration will be the crown of ten years of work and an opportunity for the radio station to thank its loyal listeners for their support. The stage at the former railway station will become the epicenter of good fun. Visitors can expect top-notch production and a program that will reflect everything that Rovinj FM is – energetic, diverse, and deeply connected to the city. The concerts of the announced attractive performers, whose names are still being kept as part of the surprise, will surely get the audience dancing and create memories to last a lifetime.
This celebration is more than just a concert; it is a community gathering, a meeting of the radio's friends, and a celebration of the identity of the city of Rovinj. That is why the invitation is open to everyone – residents, loyal listeners who follow the program from other parts of Istria, and numerous tourists who will have the opportunity to experience the authentic atmosphere of a local festival at a unique location. The evening is designed as an opportunity for fans of Rovinj FM's frequencies to gather, have fun together, and celebrate this important jubilee with their favorite radio voices.
The Heart of the Station: The Team Behind the Microphones and achnology
The success of a radio station is never the work of an individual, but the result of the synergy, expertise, and dedication of the entire team. Behind the recognizable voices and music that reach the listeners every day stands a hardworking and coordinated collective of journalists, presenters, music editors, and technicians. Their passion for radio and professionalism are key to creating a quality program 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
From the early morning hours, when the first news and service information are prepared, to the late-night music shows, the Rovinj FM team works tirelessly to provide its listeners with relevant, entertaining, and reliable content. This invisible, but crucial machinery, ensures that everything functions flawlessly – from choosing the perfect song for a specific moment of the day to the realization of complex live reports from the field. It is this dedication and team spirit that has enabled Rovinj FM to establish itself as one of the most listened to and most respected radio stations in the Istria region, whose influence and importance are planned to be celebrated at the big birthday party.
