Colorful radio minutes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bunte Funkminuten (abbreviated: Bufus ; formerly 90 Bunte Funkminuten ) is a radio broadcast on Saarländischer Rundfunk (SR) that has been broadcast since 1963.

Story and concept

In the morning program of the Saarländischer Rundfunk, a broadcast break had already been broadcast on the predecessor Radio Saarbrücken , which was retained when switching to Saarländischer Rundfunk. This was to be changed in 1963 with the colorful radio minutes. On the one hand, the SR had competition from Radio Luxemburg , on the other hand it was no longer necessary to broadcast the daily measurement work during the day.

Based on the family model of that time, it was a classic housewife's time. It was therefore decided to create a mix of entertainment, service and music programs. Program director William Zilius and artistic director Franz Mai developed the idea and concept . The verbal contributions should not exceed three minutes, the program should be heard casually if possible. Accordingly, the music part was set at around 65 minutes and the moderation part at around 25 minutes.

A moderator was desired that was well received by the women. Program manager Albert C. Weiland decided on Klaus Groth , who initially moved from Süddeutscher Rundfunk to SR as a freelancer. At the beginning he was supposed to take turns with Christa Adomeit and Klaus Greinke , but after a short broadcast time only Groth was the presenter of the 90-minute program.

Initially, under the title 90 colorful radio minutes , Grothe designed the daily morning program from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. On January 2, 1964, the station was renamed Europawelle Saar , the program was retained and soon became a flagship of the station.

During the summer, a live broadcast was often broadcast from Marseille , where Groth was taking his vacation. The daily program included music, especially hits and folk music , but also consumer information, including recipes, gardening tips, housewives. and educational tips as well as holiday stories for the little ones during the school holidays. Some articles were also developed by specialist editors.

Together with news editor Hans-Jürgen Immler , Groth also developed the cult figure “Aunt Amalie von Borschimmen”, which he portrayed with a disguised voice. It was a know-it-all East Prussian who now lived with her nephew Klaus Groth. This always appeared on Mondays in the program. She is also the title character of a cookbook published by Groth, which consisted of listener recipes.

In May 1980 Groth died of a congenital heart defect. Shortly before that, the broadcast had switched to SR3 . He was succeeded by Peter Maronde .

The broadcast continues to this day, but has been expanded over the years to a three-hour broadcast. Another well-known moderator was Bernhard Stigulinszky , who moderated the program from 1993 to 2014 and distributed his “radio poems” there. Today the program will be moderated by Eberhard Schilling , Christian Job and Carmen Bachmann .
