History

Top Albania Radio was founded by businessman Dritan Hoxha. [3] In 2000, the station obtained a national broadcasting license, expanding its coverage to approximately 95 percent of Albania’s territory. [4] During this period, its staff consisted largely of young professionals, many of whom later transitioned to successful television careers. Popular programs from this era included "Good Morning Albania", "Një këngë për ty" and "Disco Lancio". Beginning in 2002, the station strengthened its journalistic profile by increasing the frequency of its news bulletins to as many as nineteen per day.

Today, Top Albania Radio’s programming features a mix of Albanian and international music, along with news updates, talk shows and various entertainment formats. Among its most popular programs is Wake Up, a morning news talk show. The station broadcasts 24 hours a day across Albania and is also available internationally through its official website. [5]
