Radio-i (JOGW-FM) was a multilingual commercial radio station[1] based in central Japan in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, owned by the Kowa Company.
In times of disaster the station could broadcast vital information to listeners in Chinese, English, Simple Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Tagalog.
Playing a mixture of Top 40 and Album-oriented rock formats, Radio-i featured a team of mostly bilingual radio DJs handling the main programs.
Citing falling advertising revenue and ratings in the Aichi region, Radio-i ceased broadcasting operations on September 30, 2010, after 10 years and 5 months on the air.
With the loss of carrier at 12:02 am, Radio-i became the first civilian radio station in the history of Japanese peacetime broadcasting to completely cease operations.
