concept
Today the Ö3 alarm clock is designed like an infotainment broadcast; it used to be a music and information broadcast. In contrast to other radio formats on the station, there is a pause between each individual song played, during which the moderators give their comments on current topics. The program runs Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. At the beginning, the Ö3 time travel is played, the historical events of the date pass in review. The moderators talk a little less in the morning hours, the music predominates. From 6 a.m., daily topics from the areas of film, sport, society or politics are brought up, sometimes songs from the area The New Austrians are presented. Titles from earlier decades were withdrawn from the program years ago. In the “Movie Minute”, Ö3 film critic Peter-Arthur Straubinger presents the latest films. In the “Gamecheck”, Ö3 internet editor Shin Chang presents the latest games and apps.
