Orange 94.0 is a free radio station from Vienna . The non-commercial local radio has been on the air since August 17, 1998 .

The Orange 94.0 program is designed by around 500 radio producers, most of whom are volunteers, who produce around 150 series in around 25 languages. Orange 94.0 is a member of the Association of Free Radios Austria (VFRÖ).

founding

The founding phase of Radio Orange goes back to the early 1990s and the then founded “Association for the Promotion and Support of Free Local Non-Commercial Radio Projects” (in short: Association for Free Radio Vienna). At that time, from the late 1980s, there was a lively pirate radio scene in Vienna and other places in Austria . This came about because at that time ORF still had the monopoly for radio in Austria . These activities and their political and legal commitment led to the broadcasting monopoly being overturned by a judgment of the European Court of Justice on November 24, 1993.

The Association for Free Radio Vienna subsequently endeavored to legally establish a free radio in Vienna, which only succeeded five years later after the judgment was implemented and a local radio license was granted . On August 17, 1998, Freie Radio in Vienna went on air for the first time as Orange 94.0.

Surname

The station was originally supposed to be called “Free Radio Vienna”, but this led to a legal conflict with the ORF, which operates the Radio Vienna program in Vienna . Because of this necessity, the meaningless but concise name "Orange" was chosen. In order not to get into legal conflict with the mobile operator Orange Austria , the name was only allowed to be used in a radio context (for example “Radio Orange” or “Orange 94.0”).

Financing - past and present

Like other non-commercial radios, Orange 94.0 rejects funding through radio advertising . In 1998 and 1999 the free radios were financed mainly from funds from the arts section and the national minority support of the Federal Chancellery under the Federal Climate Government . In 2000, however, federal funding was cut to a third by the federal government, Schüssel I, and in 2001 it was completely canceled.

In order to fill the resulting funding gap, Orange 94.0 primarily promoted project work as a funding measure until 2010, a considerable part of it from various EU project funding pots; A smaller financing component was the annual "FreieRadioBeitrag" of around 700 subscribers.

In order to obtain funds to maintain the broadcasting operations and to safeguard precarious working conditions, the broadcaster has been negotiating with the City of Vienna since 2001 about acute financial aid and long-term subsidies. The negotiations were delayed, on the one hand, according to the office of Vice Mayor Grete Laska (SPÖ) due to a lack of basic economic data and auditing, on the other hand, the political orientation in the Vienna City Council was controversial. For example, Wolfgang Aigner ( ÖVP ) explained to the so-called free radio that freedom could not be, to hang on the leash of the subsidy giver and one did not want “subsidized radio Löwelstrasse ”.

Since 2004, the station has received basic funding of 280,000 - 320,000 euros annually from the City of Vienna, MA 13, Department for Education and Youth [8] [16]. In 2007, the non-commercial broadcasting fund (NKRF) of the RTR (Rundfunk- und Telekommunikations-Regulierungs-GesmbH) became an important source of federal funding for independent radio and TV broadcasters in Austria. Orange 94.0 receives project and program funding of 90,000 - 220,000 euros annually.

organization

Initially, Orange 94.0 was formally organized in two non-profit associations, on the one hand the sponsoring association or publishing association "Verein Free Radio Wien" (responsible for licensing, providing, broadcasting, financing, public relations; all members are on the association's board and are Austrian citizens or Union citizens ) and on the other hand the Employee association or editorial association (responsible for program creation; membership of all radio makers who pay the "Free Radio Contribution").

Since March 2004 there has been an internal structure with management and regular employment relationships for now (referring to 2015) 11 paid employees in part-time positions. The "Verein Free Radio Wien" is still the legal entity of Orange 94.0 as well as its publisher and media owner according to § 1 Para. 8, 9 MedienG, but the "Free Radio Contribution" is no longer a membership fee, but a voluntary annual donation .

In autumn 2005, Radio Orange moved from the old premises in Schubertgasse in the 9th district , where it had been since 1998, to Klosterneuburgerstraße and Gaußplatz in the 20th district .

program

Broadcast in 2006

In accordance with the common charter of Free Radios in Austria, Orange 94.0 aims to make people, groups and opinions heard who are not or underrepresented in other mass media. Particularly noteworthy are the focus areas “feminism & queer” and “interculture & migration”. Racist, sexist, fascist or human dignity offensive content is excluded. Interested parties are offered information and introductory events in order to be able to work on the program themselves. According to its own guideline, programs should be created on a voluntary basis. The executive coordination is responsible for the operational management. Program advisory boards to be elected annually decide on the inclusion of new programs.

Radio Orange's program is currently (2011) divided into ten tracks that occur every working day. On weekends there is a focus (youth, culture, music), the rest of the time is not allocated to any program. The ten program lines are: Africa, women / lesbians, youth, culture, magazines, music, music and magazines in the evening, politics and society (and philosophy), satire and sunrise (morning program).

broadcasts

The range of radio broadcasts is very diverse and flexible. Around 150 to 170 different regular programs are produced by 400 to 500 volunteers, half of which are music programs and half are themed programs. Around 15 different languages ​​are spoken in the moderated program, including German-language programs with a share of 50%, German / English 15%, Turkish / Kurdish 5% and Polish 5%. In 15% of the programs, more than two languages ​​are used.

Some programs have existed since the beginning of 1998, such as “Anarchist Radio Wien” or “Stereo SL” (“Electronic Music Magazine & DJ Show”).

The series 'Globale Dialoge' from the program “ Women on Air ” has won the Austrian Adult Education Radio Prize several times (2006, 2007, 2008) . Programs by “ Radio Voice ” (2005, 2007 and 2013), “Wiener Radiobande” / “gecko-art” (2010) and “ Momente des Sports ” (2014) also received awards . "Moments des Sports" also won the Sports Media Austria Award (2014) and the Coburg Media Prize (2015).

Some programs are dedicated to linguistic minorities, such as the Kurdish “Radio Dersim” and “Roj Fm”, the Hungarian “Viennahu”, the Persian program “Sedaje Aschena”, “Radio Ethiopia” in Amharic and other Ethiopian languages, the Chinese-German language program “China on the pulse” and the Polish “Radio Polonia Wieden”, others in turn socially marginalized groups such as “Radio Augustin” from the Vienna street newspaper Augustin .

In the Politics and Society program, the programs “Gegenargumente” and “No Comment” from the Marxist theory journal GegenStandpunkt , “Radio Netwatcher”, “radioATTAC” of the movement attac , the German-Turkish “Anatolien Radio”, whose editor is due to support of the illegal left-wing extremist DHKP-C was charged in Turkey in 2005 and finally acquitted for lack of evidence, and the “animal rights radio” of the Verein gegen Tierfabriken , whose broadcasting officer Martin Balluch was indicted in the Wiener Neustadt animal welfare process. There is also, among others, "WUK Radio", the cultural broadcast of the Wiener Werkstätten- und Kulturhaus since August 1999, the almost daily broadcast "Radio Afrika" and the satirical programs "Espresso Revue" and "Club Karate" (1998-2003, by Hosea Ratschiller, among others ).

At first, the BBC's news programs were included in the program, and since around 2005 Orange 94.0 has been broadcasting a local Viennese edition of “ZIP-FM” (“Cooperation between the Free Media Information and Political Editors”), a locally tailored variant of the daily audio magazine of the Free Radios .

Orange 94.0 cooperates with the broadcaster Alex Offener Kanal Berlin and exchanges programs, so that the program “Radio Voice” will be broadcast in 2011 in Berlin, and in Vienna the magazine “Kol Berlin” is in Hebrew and German and the Berlin “Transgender Radio” to listen.

Together with RadioTux and other radio stations, Orange 94.0 also participated in the radio broadcasting freedom instead of fear in 2007 in 1984.

reception

The radio station can be received in Vienna on the FM frequency 94.0 MHz and in the Vienna Telekabel network on 92.7 MHz as well as via live stream on the Internet. In 2013/2014 ORANGE 94.0 developed the first radio app (for Android and iOS) for non-commercial radio in Austria.

In the broadcasting range of Radio Orange 94.0 in the greater Vienna area, 1,700,000 residents are potentially able to receive the radio station. However, there are no data available on listener numbers and audience ratings since Radio Orange 94.0 does not reach through radio test can be determined. This is justified on the one hand with the costs for this range test, on the other hand with the fact that, as a non-commercial radio, there is no need to research target groups because no radio advertising is marketed. According to the company's own information, the live streams were accessed around 48,000 times in 2009 and the equivalent of around 25,000 hours of listening time.
