Athens 98.4 FM (), officially Municipality of Athens Broadcasting Corporation "Athina" is the first non-state radio station to begin broadcasting in Greece in 1987. The station is the forerunner of the municipal radio sector in Greece.

History

The station went on air on May 31, 1987, without a license but backed by then mayor of Athens Miltiadis Evert. The station initially faced many challenges, as a legal framework for private broadcasting was not finalized in Greece until 1989.
