Energy Zurich is the third largest Swiss private radio station . The program went on air on August 15, 2003 on the frequencies of the previous radio station Radio Z and Hitradio Z respectively . The station is the first radio station in German-speaking Switzerland under the international NRJ brand . According to Mediapulse data from July 2020, an average of 227,000 listeners listened to the station every day in the first half of 2020 (Monday to Sunday). This corresponds to the third largest reach of all private radio stations in Switzerland , after the city rivals Radio 24 and Radio Pilatus (both CH Media ).

history

Energy Zurich emerged in 2003 from the radio station Radio Z, which belonged to the Goldbach Group based in Küsnacht ZH . The renaming took place due to the participation of the Paris NRJ Group in the station. Since the same year, the station has been organizing the annual Energy Star Night concert in Zurich (until 2015 Energy Stars For Free). On April 19, 2007 it was announced that Ringier had bought the majority stake in the station from Goldbach Media .

On October 31, 2008, the Federal Department for the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) awarded the second and final tranche of VHF radio and regional television licenses. The licenses are broadcasting permits. In the area of ​​the agglomeration of Zurich and the canton of Glarus , three concessions were distributed. Radio 24 , Radio Zürisee and Radio 1 received a license from the five applicants, including Energy Zürich . The DETEC justified his decision with the higher journalistic credibility of Radio 1 as compared to Energy Zurich. In addition, Article 43 (5) of the Radio and Television Act prefers Radio 1 , as it is more independent compared to Energy Zurich, which belongs to the Ringier publishing house. As a result of the negative license decision, the Swiss musicians Baschi , Bligg , Ritschi (von Plüsch ), Seven and Stress produced the protest song “Stahn uf”. The song reached number 1 in the Swiss hit parade on June 28, 2009 . At the beginning of January 2010, the radio station was finally able to take over the concession of another applicant for the Zurich region and thus secure its continued existence.

Energy Bern went on air on April 9, 2010 and Energy Basel on January 13, 2012 . On December 3, 2012, Energy announced that it would launch Energy TV, a Swiss music television channel .

Together with Ringier , Energy launched LandLiebe Radio on December 2, 2013 . The program focuses on relaxing music.

In mid-2015, Energy Zurich replaced its city rival Radio 24 from its decades-long throne of the most popular private radio. In January 2020 it became known that Energy Zürich would have to place itself back as No. 1 behind Radio 24 after four years.
