60 Jahre Caroline TEMOpolis Radiofete

2024 ist Jahr des Radios: Immer noch Jubiläumsjahr “100 Jahre Radio in DL”, dann 75 Jahre UKW, 40 Jahre Privatfunk….und ganz aktuell 60 Jahre RADIO CAROLINE. Der legendäre Piratensender vor Englands Küste begann an Ostern 1964 seinen Sendebetrieb in der Nordsee vom Schiff aus; unbeugsam trotzte er der rauen See und gesetzlichen Hürden und ist bis heute auf diversen Übertragungswegen zu hören. Ich gründete damals den deutschen Hörerclub GERMAN CAROLINE, aus dem die FRCG Free Radio Campaign Germany entstand, die über knapp drei Jahrzehnte die FREE RADIO NEWS, später RADIO NEWS, herausgab…ein Stück weit vielleicht Wegbereiter für den Privatfunk auch in Baden-Württemberg, wo unser RTO Radio Telstar Offenburg zu den Pionieren gehörte. TEMOpolis, das Technische ZukunftsMuseum plant vom 23.-25. August 2024 in Offenburg eine große RADIO FETE, die live über den Äther gehen soll und zu der viele bekannte Moderatoren aus der Radioszene, natürlich auch Ehemalige von RTO, erwartet werden. www.temopolis.de
