Radio 101 (Croatia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radio 101 - Independent radio station, with alternative and latest music and breaking news in Croatia. It broadcasts from Zagreb (Croatian capital) and has a regional license for the audience of about 1 200 000 people. It is one of the most popular radio stations in Zagreb and in Croatia. It started broadcasting in 1984 using the frequency of 101 MHz (hence the name). In 1996 the ruling party tried to revoke its license, but in response to this around 120,000 people protested on the main square in Zagreb and helped keeping it on the air. This was also part of a larger series of events in Zagreb known as the Zagreb Crisis.

Radio 101 continuously emphasises independent journalism and democratic values, their wacky morning shows have been very popular for years, and they also broadcast a large number of various specialised music shows where many new releases are heard for the first time in Croatia.
