history

The daily broadcast was broadcast from April 8, 1957 to April 5, 1999 at lunchtime, beginning at 11.30, 11.45 or 12 noon and ending at 1 p.m., a total of 15,153 times.

In 1957 the service program (according to the original motto with music on the move ) was directed by Wilhelm "Willy" Hufnagl , who was authorized to speak to Rosemarie Isopp and Walter Niesner to be the speaker (today to be referred to as moderators, as they did not receive finished texts read, but live from the cuff to act had) discovered.

The program always began with the signature “Blende auf”, composed by Werner Müller and later reworked again for the program by Wolfgang Lindner senior (1949–2008). In 1957, alongside Isopp and Niesner, Louise Martini and Emil Kollpacher were among the first moderators (the term was still unknown at the time). For a long time, the program was broadcast with an audience from the broadcasting hall in the exhibition and shopping center (AEZ) in Vienna (at today's Wien Mitte train station ), but also from places in Austria and more rarely from abroad. In 1960, building on the popularity of the show, the AEZ hosted the AURA 1960 , the radio exhibition for motorists on the move .

In 1992 the Landesstudio Wien withdrew from broadcasting due to a program reform and then produced the program Der Wiener Autofahrerfahren for a while . In 1995 the regional studios of Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria also left. Until 1999 the program was broadcast by the provincial studios Burgenland, Lower Austria (therefore also to be heard in Vienna!), Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg and could thus be heard in most of Austria until the end.

Moderation

Relationship with the audience

The broadcast began at a time when only very few routes could be covered by autobahn in Austria and by far not every car was equipped with a car radio. You could expect that car drivers who were driving across the country would head for an inn at lunchtime and that drivers would be heard there at lunchtime - which was actually mostly the case. The program did not run in the demanding 1st program and also not in Ö3 , which was founded in 1967 , originally primarily a youth station, but in the 2nd program, where before and after regional offers from the respective state studios for those who were still heavily influenced by agriculture at the time, except in Vienna Population were heard.

The audience was addressed in a more informal manner, often in the style of the conférenciers of the thirties to sixties. The moderators should appear like close relatives whom one likes to meet again and again; they were among the most famous people in Austria. The program also had a large number of listeners who did not drive or drove a little car, but listened every day: with the feeling of being on the move, of taking part in traveling.
