history
When the Thuringian State Media Authority (TLM) advertised nine terrestrial VHF frequencies for a national, private radio program in Thuringia in the Thuringian State Gazette on March 30, 1992, Antenne Thüringen GmbH also applied. In a letter from TLM dated June 2, 1992, Antenne Thüringen GmbH was asked to contact other applicants and to hold agreements. The GmbH successfully took on several shareholders and in the summer of 1992 20 of 22 members spoke out in favor of Antenne Thüringen GmbH. On September 21, 1992, the Thuringian state media authority, Antenne Thüringen, granted approval for a nationwide radio program .
Broadcasting officially started on February 1, 1993 with the song "What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong and 23 employees from the studio in Weimar . This makes Antenne Thüringen the first private radio station in the Free State of Thuringia. In July of the same year, the then Electronic Media Analysis East (EMA) showed 49,000 listeners per average hour for Antenne Thuringia. Less than a year later, the same institution had 136,000 listeners in the average broadcast hour. From October to November 1994 a comprehensive research including a music test was carried out, which led to the result that Antenne Thuringia should replace the previous Euro-AC format with the Hot-AC format and use the sender claim “The best music of the 80s and 90s” .
In December 1995, Antenne Thüringen helped to start a signature campaign for Dirk Hasert, who was kidnapped at the time . In January 1996, the broadcaster acted as an intermediary for the recovery of the two stolen original dolls Ernie and Bert , which were presented after 45 days. In June 1996, Antenne Thüringen reached its highest audience reach up to then with 222,000 listeners per hour and took over the market leadership in Thuringia. By 1998, five regional studios were created in Erfurt , Gera , Suhl , Dingelstädt and Eisenach , of which the studios in Dingelstädt and Erfurt have since been closed again. According to the media analysis of 1999, Antenne Thüringen surpassed the listener record of 222,000 listeners with 275,000 listeners in an average hour.
History from 2000
The previously known sender claim “The best music of the 80s and 90s” was replaced in January 2000 by the new sender claim “Just right”, although the old sender claim was still used in abbreviated form as the subclaim “The best music”. In February, Antenne Thüringen integrated a playlist search on their website, with the option of ordering the titles directly via their platform through a cooperation with Amazon . In the media analysis from July 2000, the broadcaster's very high number of listeners was once again confirmed and exceeded, with the result that Antenne Thuringia was able to look forward to more than 303,000 an average hour. In the meantime these numbers fluctuated in the years 2000 to 2002. In the end, Antenne Thuringia lost listeners and in March 2002 was still in first place of the radio stations in Thuringia with 267,000 listeners per hour. In July 2002, the Thuringian State Media Authority agreed at one of its meetings to extend the license to Antenne Thüringen GmbH for a further five years.
On September 8, 2003, Antenne Thüringen and Landeswelle Thüringen founded the “Jugendradio Thüringen GmbH & Co. KG” and continued to operate the youth radio Radio Top 40 together. Up to March 2005, the media analysis figures for Antenne Thuringia showed some losses, now the station had 208,000 listeners in the average broadcast hour as of March 9, 2005. For the first time, Antenne Thüringen was moved from number one of the radio programs in Thuringia to number 2, with MDR 1 Radio Thuringia taking over the market leader position. In June 2006 the station was the only one in the Thuringian radio landscape to be licensed as an officially licensed radio station for the 2006 Football World Cup and thus reported extensively and live from the stadiums of the World Cup.
With 193,000 listeners an average hour, Antenne Thüringen regained the market leader position in Thuringia among radios in March 2007 , the other stations were far behind the station. In August 2008, the number of listeners fell to 187,000, but the station still held the market leadership in Thuringia. The presenters from Antenne Thüringen could count themselves as big winners in June 2009. Jens May, Wenke Weber and Stefan Ganß (today MDR) each won the Central German Radio Prize in various categories. On July 1, 2009, Antenne Thüringen dissolved its cooperation with Landeswelle Thüringen in the youth program and took over the resulting GmbH back into the parent company of Antenne Thuringia.
History from 2010
Still referred to as the “favorite radio of the Thuringians” (itself), Antenne Thüringen remains in first place of the radios in Thuringia after the Radio MA 2010 / I, closely followed by MDR Thuringia. As in June 2006, the station was reappointed the officially licensed radio station for the World Cup in June 2010 and was able to broadcast the games live on the radio. In June 2010, the moderators Jens May and Wenke Weber won the Central German Radio Prize in the category Best Moderation with the contribution "Satirical handling of lottery hysteria at the 30 million jackpot". On September 17, 2010, the program “Ganß nah dran - Spezial - das DDR-Experiment” was awarded the German radio prize in the category of best listener action.
After the media analysis calculation method was changed in April 2011, the station remained number 1 among private radios in Thuringia and was heard by 199,000 listeners in the average hour, including around 130,000 listeners from Thuringia. In July 2011, the station again won a Central Germany Radio Prize, this time the State Prize for the “Snow Chaos in Thuringia” contribution by presenters Jens May and Wenke Weber. In July 2011, Antenne Thüringen again had the highest number of listeners in Thuringia for years with 249,000 listeners per hour. After the broadcaster has already won numerous awards at the Central Germany Radio Prize, Antenne Thüringen made it again in June 2012 in the Best Contribution category with “Ecki” by Adi Rückewold.
In 2016, the station carried out a major restructuring of the logo, the website and new jingles, which should give the station a fresh coat of paint, but also convey the ANTENNE feeling of the future. On July 25, 2017, Antenne Thüringen announced that the former long-time presenter Wenke Weber will return to the station and take over the morning show with Jens May. In September 2017, the long-time morning presenter Romy Anders left the station to “face a new challenge” at the competing broadcaster MDR Thuringia . In June 2018 the presenter Thomas Born left the station and switched to Landeswelle Thuringia in Erfurt. In return, the morning presenter from Landeswelle Thüringen, Timo Hartmann, switched to Antenne Thüringen as editor and presenter in August 2018. Long-time news anchor Jan Kätzschmann died on April 12, 2020. On May 31, 2020, presenter Dirk Sipp left the broadcaster for Landeswelle Thuringia after 26 years. In mid-July 2020, the broadcaster announced that Wenke Weber was saying goodbye for 10 months on parental leave and will not be heard until 2021.
