History
LOVE FM was established on February 14, 1993 by Rene Villanueva Sr. It became the first private radio station to cover the entire nation of Belize.
LOVE FM guided the nation through the national emergencies brought on by Hurricanes Mitch, Keith, Chantal and Iris. In many villages especially those in Southern Belize Love FM's signal was the only one they could receive. An independent survey conducted by British Forces in 2006 showed that despite the fact that there are 36 radio stations in Belize today some 66.6 percent of those surveyed still rely on Love FM during national emergencies such as in Hurricane Dean in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
