90elf was a private radio broadcaster from Leipzig , which dealt exclusively with the topic of football and its reporting. With the slogan 90elf - your football radio and Germany's football radio , the channel has been on the air since it was launched on August 13, 2008. The station name is a composition that is derived from the playing time and team strength in football: 90 minutes playing time and 11 players per team.

On March 19, 2013, 90elf did not receive a license from the DFL for audio coverage of the 2013/2014 season and thus had to forego the two professional leagues, Supercup and Relegation. The broadcasting rights went to Sport1.FM . Therefore, the operation was stopped on June 2, 2013 after relegation to the 3rd division. However, as a non-stop music station, the station initially continued to broadcast using the old reception channels. After a test run from January 24th to January 27th, 90elf was switched off on January 31st, 2014 at 4 p.m. and Radio Schlagerparadies was activated on the program space in the Bundesmux. Regiocast and Radio Schlagerparadies have concluded a program supply contract for this purpose . The distribution of 90elf on the Internet had already been stopped a few months earlier.

As part of the 2016 European Football Championship, 90elf once again broadcast a program that was distributed via its own website and consisted of news, information about the European Championship and music. This Regiocast offer was limited to the time of the tournament.

General information

The radio broadcaster received media law approval from the meeting of the Hessian State Authority for Private Broadcasting and New Media (LPR Hessen) at its meeting on February 18, 2008. The program organizer is Leipzig-based Regiocast Digital GmbH (RCD). To this end, RCD acquired the live audio transmission rights for the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga for digital distribution channels (Internet, DAB, DAB +, DVB-H, DMB, DVB-T) from the German Football League (DFL ) until 2013 and continued to do so in an advertising-financed audio-based multimedia program.

Program content

The program, which was broadcast all day, reported comprehensively in terms of content on all games in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. On the one hand, the program reported live from every game in the first and second Bundesliga and on the other hand it also dealt with the latest news about this sport. The games were commented on by a trunk of regular 90elf reporters from the studio in Leipzig. Well-known commentators such as Günter Netzer , Günther Koch or Manfred Breuckmann were used live from the stadium for important games. If there were no games to be played, the broadcaster delivered daily reporting on various football topics, framed by pop and rock music . There was also the interactive talk show Bolzplatz with Markus Herwig and Alexander Ibenhain on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 p.m. , during which selected matches of the UEFA Champions League , UEFA Europa League and the DFB Cup were broadcast in full. The European Championship 2012 was also broadcast live and in full.
