I don’t think that there are many examples of regional stations which target an audience in two countries? But feel free to drop a comment if you know one. Anyway, Radio Seefunk, or better Das Neue Radio Seefunk is tuned into by some 147000 German and 35000 Swiss listeners.
The station started as a local radio for the city of Konstanz under the name Seefunk Radio Bodensee. Today they have 13 transmitters across the south of Baden Württemberg in Germany. Rebranded to Das Neue Radio Seefunk in 2019 they bring music from “Vier Jahrzehnten” (4 decades) targeting an 30+ audience.
I received them while staying near Ulm. Mr. Grunewald was so kind to confirm my report sent to redaktion(at)radio-seefunk.de .
Hello Peter – just wanted to say I’ve enjoyed looking through your website over the last 30 minutes! Thanks for providing this & it’s good to see information from other similar radio enthusiasts! I will return later to finish reading – I’ve also enjoyed looking at your QSL collection & have made a note of the other blogs listed.
You might be interested in my own site which I have recently updated – looks like we’ve both been interested in radio for a long time!
All the best – from Jim – in the UK
Hi Jim, thank you so much for the interest in my webblog. I took a moment to explore your website. I hope you don’t mind me listing the URL here: https://sites.google.com/view/jimsradiosite/home?authuser=0 . Immediately lost myself into the story about Radio Emma Toc and 2MT. I have to admit that I didn’t know there was radio before “Aunty BBC” in the 1920s ! Funny to read all of this just days after making myself a bit familiar with the story of Funkerberg Radio in Germany (which was also new for me). Main thing is that radio is never boring, there is always something to enjoy. That much we do have in common!
Kind regards, Peter
Peter
Thanks for reply. Yes – there was radio activity before the BBC!
Keep up the good work with your website!
