The name is derived from the word jovem, which means "young", and Pan-american. The latter comes from the name of Radio Panamerican, which began broadcasting from São Paulo on May 3, 1944 and was purchased in November of the same year by entrepreneur and sports executive Paulo Machado de Carvalho.

History

edit

The idea to start an FM station began with Antonio Augusto Amaral de Carvalho Filho, (better known by his nickname, "Tutinha"), and began transmitting on July 1, 1976. The name "Jovem Pan", however, was coined in 1965 by Tutinha's father, Paulo.

Tutinha's ideas were new to Brazilian FM radio. These ideas included new approaches to the DJ's delivery and the scope of music programming. They quickly put Jovem Pan near the top of the ratings. [citation needed]

In July 1994, Jovem Pan started syndicating via satellite. The service (known as Jovem Pan SAT) was an immediate success and currently has over 87 affiliated stations.
