Mix FM Lebanon (104.4 FM) is a leading radio station in Lebanon and also one of the most listened-to stations in all of the Middle East.

Mix FM is based in Beirut. Launched on 23 February, 1996, it started broadcasting hit music, with everything from R’nB to Pop, and House to Dance, in a line up of top national and international DJs and presenters, and the freshest sound on radio.

In 2006, Mix FM was officially named the Middle East's number 1 radio station.

It has promoted and continues to promote the dance music scene in Lebanon intensely over the last few years. It has been one of the major contributors to the Lebanese clubbing scene. Mix FM produces numerous monthly events at Lebanon's most popular venues, ranging from dance/trance raves to R’nB and Hip-Hop events. It has subsequently also been in the forefront in media to bring quality events to various venues across the country including the annual Bacardi Night, the Annual Monot Music Festival, Claude Challe in Lebanon for 3 years in a row, Anthony Pappa, Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, Cut Killer, Cutee B, Africanisms Martin Solveig, Danny Howells, Antoine Clamaran, Sasha, John Digweed, Above & Beyond, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk (four times so far), Paul Oakenfold, Gary Pine and Massari.

As well as producing massive concerts and events for international artists, Mix FM organises one of Lebanon's biggest Miami beach style parties known as "One Big Sunday" at Lebanon's biggest beach resorts. With all its resident DJs in attendance, some 5000 people gather every time to relax under the middle-eastern sun, and dance the day away to the sounds of music ranging from Hip-Hop to trance/house. During the winter, "One Big Sunday" moves to the snowy mountains of Faraya Mzaar located at the peak of Mount Lebanon, for yet another season of partying.
