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" was coined in 1965 by Tutinha's father, Paulo.

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