Radio España EAJ-2, inaugurated on 10 November 1924 in Madrid, was the first Spanish station to go on air with a government licence, four days before EAJ-1 Radio Barcelona. Founded as a commercial company with a business model based on commercial advertising, it was a pioneer of commercial broadcasting in Spain and was already advertising in the press to attract sponsors in October 1924. The station broadcast for 77 years on medium wave with a notable audience in the Spanish market, passing through owners such as Unión Ibérica de Radio (1985), Televisa (1993–1996), Prensa Española and finally Grupo Planeta, which handed its frequency over to Onda Cero in July 2001.
