EPR started in 1939. The Local Radio network is older by at least a few years, because the government opted out for a system consisting of a nationwide network and several local stations in larger cities providing a more Atlansian approach, with ENR being a GRT-ish service. During Annexation and the Allied occupation, it was simply renamed Radio Eusloida. In 1950, after reverting back to ENR, the national service became Radio 1 and the local service became Radio 2 (i.e. Radio 2 Geerlesia, Radio 2 Winter Springs, Radio 2 Sennistan, and so on). By 1976, when ENR rebranded, two FM-exclusive services were launched: Radio 3 to counter the popular commercial stations and Radio 4, also known as "the Fine Music program" after a backronym for the FM band, devoting its schedule to classical music and other highbrow forms of music. The problem was that ENR was having an identity crisis and had stopped using the Radio 1 and 2 brands regularly since the 1960s. In 1989, Radio 3 was renamed ENR Engine (nobody knows how they got the name!) and Radio 4 became ENR Fine Music. NewsRadio Eusloida (codename: Radio 5) launched in the same year. When the organic law for radio and television was passed in 1997 (to be enacted in the following year), NRE became ENR News Radio ("News Radio" becoming just two words), Engine became Soundstream, Fine Music became Concert and ENR was reformatted to fit in with the newly-acquainted "public service" status and reverted back to its classic GRT Radio 4 emulation and the local radio network, in order not to compete against commercial radio, became a mix of ENR and Soudnstream.
