Planet FM was a private radio station in Mauritius. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It began operation on May 2, 2019 [4] with a Private Commercial Free to Air FM Radio Broadcasting Licence [6] issued by the Independent Broadcasting Authority-Mauritius. On a letter dated 3 August 2020, the Independent Broadcasting Authority (Mauritius) revoked the licence of the radio for non-compliance with the Information and Communication Technologies Act 2001. It cited the station's failure to broadcast between 6 and 11 June and 13 June and 10 July. The station stated it had been relocating studios but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was unable to get a fiber connection to the new studio at Coromandel. [7]
