Radio Hamburg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Radio Hamburg building

Radio Hamburg is a private commercial radio station set up in the '80s to mainly play all the big hits of the times. Nowadays it plays hits from the '90s onwards. Their slogan is "Die Mega-Hits der 90er, 2000er und dem Besten von heute“. (Translation: The Mega Hits Of the Nineties, Two-Thousands and the best from now.) Its services are also weather, traffic reports and chat. Its website also has a ticket service for all the big concerts, a live web stream and an online shop.^[1].

The station "Radio Hamburg" has nothing to do with previous stations owned by the Nazis or the British Army. Reichssender Hamburg was the Hamburg station of the Nazi German international broadcasting network.

It is usually held in the biggest arena in Hamburg's HSH Nordbank Arena which is the local football team's Hamburger SV stadium, but in the last years, it was held on the street next to the station, with a big stage.
