Apply now for fixed broadcasting slots

We have been broadcasting 24/7 for a year – now we want to create an official broadcast schedule for these new broadcast times (on weekdays before 6 p.m. and after 11 p.m. and on weekends before 12 p.m.). Therefore you can now apply for these broadcasting times with your ideas for fixed broadcasting slots. “Fixed broadcasting slot” means that you will reliably and regularly (e.g. every 2 or 4 weeks, or more often) fill up one, two or even three hours of broadcasting time on your own.
To secure such a fixed broadcasting slot, please send an email to anja@radioblau.de with the following information: (more…)

“Anybody out there” 100 years of radio in Germany

From November 12th to December 22nd, the participatory radio project “Is anybody out there?! 100 Years of Radio in Germany” will take place at the art space D21 in Lindenau and part of the work will also be heard live on Radio Blau. The first German test broadcast via radio was broadcast at Königs Wusterhausen a hundred years ago on December 22nd, 1920, three years before the start of any official radio program. The medium of radio stands for broadcasting from one point to many receivers and intensive contact with the public. Long before today’s mobile communications, radio opened up an acoustic space of simultaneity and location independence. “Is anybody out there?” is dedicated to the transformations and potentials of immaterial sending and receiving: What acoustic and social space does the radio open? What types of community does the radio allow – on the set, in front of the set? What contemporary and future forms of radio can we expect? Take a look at our program here on this website to see what content awaits you!

Upcoming BLAUTOPIA-show is looking for volunteer editors

Linda is one of our two new federal volunteers and she would like to start a new environmental program. If you want to be part of the editorial team, write an email to Linda at kurse@radioblau.de. Even if you haven’t had much radio practice yet – we’ll work it all out together!
The show wants to deal with sustainable ideas and a different, more beautiful world. About climate and environmental protection. Movements like Fridays for Future and Endegelände or simply what you as an individual can do for our world. In any case, we know that it is important to talk about it and to raise our voices, to stand up for a more beautiful earth, because a lot should change as soon as possible. Bring along your ideas for topics on sustainablity and network with other like-minded people and do-gooders.
