TV Tip: Funkstille.
RBB sendet am 21. Oktober um 22.45 hrs MESZ/CEST unter dem Titel
"Funkstille" einen Bericht über die Geschichte des Radios in der DDR. Eine
Wdh. von 2009, so die TV Zeitschrift "Hoer Zu".

BBC World Service can stay on FM in Berlin. They have even been allowed to
add up to two minutes of commercials each hour to cover the transmission
costs, at their explicit request I think, speaking volumes about the
apparently bleak prospects of the service. But they will move away from
90.2 MHz, which is the oldest FM usage that still exists in Berlin, in
force for more than 40, rather 50 years.
The new BBC frequency in Berlin will be 94.8 MHz from the Schaeferberg
tower in Berlin-Wannsee, until now used by Radio Metropol, a commercial
Turkish-language station. Radio Metropol of course seeks to reach the
Turkish community in Berlin-Neukoelln and Berlin-Kreuzberg, thus wanted to
move to 101.9 MHz which reaches these districts better although running a
mere 0.5 kW.
Jazz Radio is still in business, with a new operator instead of the old
one that went bankrupt, and will move from 101.9 to 106.8 MHz, where the
merry-go-round completes: Radio Teddy moves from 106.8 to 90.2 MHz.
However, both Jazz Radio and Radio Teddy (for which it is apparently a
challenge to run its childrens format from advertisement revenues) got
licences for two years only.
The MABB media release also states that they regret to not being able to
offer new allocations, because some very interesting and promising
concepts have been proposed. This could be read as a hint at RFI, which
still occupies 106.0 MHz, since January violating the conditions of its
licence by no longer offering the required programmes in German. The RFI
licence expires in 2012, and under these circumstances their chances for
getting a renewal in a competitive process appear to be non-existant.
