FM4 celebrates 30 years - a look at the history of the cult transmitter!

fm4 celebrates 30 years on the radio!

Hard to believe, but true: Austria's most popular youth radio station FM4 celebrated its 30th birthday this year! The broadcaster Dodo Roscic reports on the fascinating beginnings: On January 16, 1995, Angelika Lang heralded a new era with the first broadcast on this broadcaster. Their historical announcement, underlaid with the HIT "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys, became a starting signal for a brand that is still unmistakable in the Austrian and German radiol landscape, as Medianet reports. The basic idea? While other providers more rely on the mainstream, FM4 was determined from the start to be different - with a focus on courageous music and social topics that are often away from everyday life.

FM4 has established itself as a platform for musical diversity over the years and reaches a good 310,000 listeners every day. Roscic emphasizes that the broadcaster is not only a place for music, but also a relevant player in the domestic cultural scene - for example, a significant proportion, 40 percent, is played, which is of crucial importance for many artists and the event industry, as can be seen from the Interview.

New formats for young comedians

But FM4 doesn't stop! The broadcaster is also committed to promoting the local comedy scene. From now on, the "FM4 Happy Hour" will be broadcast every Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Here young, talented comedians are given the opportunity to present their perspectives and humorous contributions to a broad audience. The new host Eva Deutsch promises exciting entertainment and fresh jokes! Among the upcoming live events, the show "Boss Hayat" with Esra Özmen on January 21, which will give insights into her life as an artist and politically active Muslima can be emphasized. The FM4 stand-up stage ensures an intimate atmosphere where the audience can be very close to the artists and conveys a unique flat-party atmosphere.

FM4 remains on the pulse of time- both in the music and in the comedy scene, and continues to position itself relevant in the media landscape. Roscic emphasizes the challenge of winning the listener youngsters and the need to assert itself in the digital world what a new era for the broadcaster heralds on today's media stage and strengthens the connection between listeners and program design, as FM4 reports.
