Media
Along with many Spanish language radio and TV stations, Tenerife has two official British radio stations. Coast FM broadcasts a mix of adult contemporary music and is the only local news service to broadcast in English. As the largest of the two stations, Coast FM can be heard across Tenerife and much of the Canary islands from its transmitters on 106.6, 92.2 and 89.4. Energy FM is a non stop music station that also broadcasts local news and information on the hour.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
