RTL RADIO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1992 Radio Luxemburg, the German version of the legendary Radio Luxembourg, changed its format and profile to become RTL Radio. (RTL also ran a Dutch radio station called RTL Radio in the early 1990s).

From Stuttgart the station broadcasted 50ies, 60ies and 70ies music over the old Luxemburg frequencies (from the Grand Duchy) and via the Oldie Sender network in Germany. Only a few years later Der Oldie Sender became RTL Oldies, including 80ies hits, with studios in Luxembourg and Germany wide broadcats on satellite and cable. After almost 10 years the format changed to Hits mit Gefühl (hits with feeling), meaning sobbers and soft pop, and several game shows. For a while RTL Radio left its AM frequency to MEGA RADIO, but the frequency was regained, and the station today expects to become big in Germany again once DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) ticks on.

RTL Radio currently belongs to the RTL Group.
