[edit] History

FM 2000, advertised as the "21st century radio station", began operations on November 24, 1994 on Coney Drive in Belize City, upstairs of the Body 2000 gym. It focused mostly on the urban demographic with modern music including rap, hip hop and reggae, mixed with contemporary music. Among its most popular DJ's were media veterans Adrian Harris, Mike Nicholson, Ed Yorke and G. Michael Reid. Later popular DJ's included Karil Wallace. All of the above had left FM 2000 by 2005.

FM 2000's popularity was somewhat low for much of its time on the air; it frequently trailed KREM and LOVE FM in listenership.

With the changeover to Positive Vibes, FM 2000 officially closed shop on November 5, 2006.
