Overview

MNM is a Belgian pop music radio station, launched in 2009, operated by the Flemish public broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT). The station broadcasts in Flanders and Brussels on FM and can be heard in France and the Netherlands on border areas.

History

On 5 January 2009, Peter van de Veire launched the new radio station. On 8 March 2010, the MNM logo had a small modification, the black letter M became blue, and modernized its studio and website. On 28 March 2011, MNM added new jingles, a new programme (Sing Your Song) and two new radio hosts (Bert Beauprez, Renée Vermeire), the same year, and the slogan has changed from Let's Have a Big Time to Music and More. During the 2018 Marathonradio event in June that year, MNM introduced a redesigned logo without the star as well as new graphics and a range of bright and bold colours. In September 2024, MNM introduced a new pink-yellow logo and branding more in line with VRT's corporate rebrand, a new station schedule with a new breakfast show and a new slogan, "Make Life Sing!"
