Future plans World music Radio / Radio 208
World Music Radio is planning to commence broadcasting on two new frequencies sometime during the month of June from Hvidovre, previously used for WMR on 927 kHz (which has been silent for the past six months or so, and which will not return) – and previously used for Radio208 on 5970 kHz. The two new frequencies will be 3965 kHz (400W) and 25820 kHz (100W). So from July 1st 2025 WMR will hopefully be on: 3965 (24/7), 5930 (24/7), 15700 (05-22 UTC), 25800 (24/7), and 25820 (24/7) kHz.
Radio208 on the other hand will be closed down in the course of May. That means the end of 1440 (currently 300 Watts) from Ishøj. 1422 in Central Copenhagen has already been switched off. During Easter Radio208 on 5970 also went off the air.
Radio208 began broadcasting on 1440 kHz on December 17th 2019, and from May1st 2020 shortwave was added.
There are many reasons for closing Radio208. First of all – it is very expensive to run two radio stations. For the past few years I have been paying some 530 euro monthly for music royalties. And with WMR and Radio208 not generating any income – only expenses. Also it would be very difficult to get a new experimental license for mediumwave from the Danish authorities as of July 1st 2025 (obtaining a permanent license is not possible).
So this will be the end of Radio208 – and the end of Mediumwave broadcasting from Denmark.
