We report detection from Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the radio counterpart to the very luminous X-ray and optical supernova remnant in the galaxy NGC 6946. We find it to be a very luminous radio source, being approximately 3 times more powerful than Cas A and within an order of magnitude of the extraordinarily powerful supernova remnant in NGC 4449. We suggest that the NGC 6946 supernova remnant is analogous to the NGC 4449 supernova remnant, but is probably much older. The high luminosity at radio wavelengths for the NGC 6946 supernova remnant likely results from interaction with a dense local environment.
