[edit] History of Blue Danube Radio
BDR was an English language service of ORF (Austrian state radio), created in 1979, principally for the United Nations community at UNO-City in Vienna. It was popular with many Austrian people too. From 1995, it shared airtime with FM4, which eventually completely took over on February 1, 2000. Favourite programmes included Continental Breakfast, Soft Sound Café, Drive Time, Today@Six, and Sunday Brunch. Many of the people who worked for BDR moved to FM4. Notables include Paul Catty, Joe Remick, John Wilde, Joanna Bostock, Jill Zobel, Stuart Freeman and Katya Adler. It also syndicated Casey Kasem's Top 40 (American hit parade), and a short programme called Passport encouraged the study of foreign languages.
