History

Light FM Lebanon is the feel good station born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1989, in the midst of the Lebanese civil war and was known by its frequency 88.3 FM.

The station came as a breath of freshness to the Lebanese people hungry for a stress free mood.

Today Light FM Lebanon broadcasts on 90.5 (90.7 for the North) and is the only radio station in Lebanon that makes you feel good all day long.
Once you have us on, it’s hard to turn us off!

~ ~ ~
while in Lebanon
the band also did a TV interview
~
regardless of the language you speak
you'll probably understand
some part of this

(the first 4 1/2 minutes are about the GQs)
(so double-click and ~ 'esc' to get back)
