History
Founded in 1989 by the Grupo Cidade de Comunicação, Atlântico Sul FM's main focus was the A and B class audience that listened to Casablanca FM, a highlight in Fortaleza's adult contemporary segment, which at that time had switched its focus to young people (CHR) in order to gain a larger audience. To this end, the station's former artistic coordinator, Américo de Souza, was hired.{{sfn|Canalito|Leme|2007|p=104}} As a result, the radio station adopted a more segmented style, focusing on musical genres that were rarely covered on other commercial radio stations. The station's journalism prioritized economic, fashion, health and current affairs issues, also giving way to the social columnism of print journalism.{{sfn|Canalito|Leme|2007|p=104}}
In 1999, the station was integrated into the D&E Entretenimento group, as were the radio stations Cidade 99 and the Jovem Pan FM affiliate.{{sfn|Canalito|Leme|2007|p=104}} This partnership was broken up in 2017, when D&E remained responsible only for artistic management. In January 2018, Grupo Cidade took full control of the station.
