The Freie Sender Kombinat ( FSK ) is a free radio that broadcasts in Hamburg . The broadcast is currently from the Hamburg TV tower on the FM frequency 93.0 MHz operated with 50 watts. The transmission area includes the city of Hamburg (technical range approx. 1,680,000 listeners).

The FSK is a member of the Bundesverband Freier Radios (BFR) and the AMARC (Association Mondiale des Radios Communautaires).

The radio has had full frequency since 1998, meaning it broadcasts around the clock, seven days a week. Its origin goes back to eight years of broadcasting experience in the open channel and another two years, during which the project broadcast 3½ hours a day on its own frequency.

The project sees itself as a left radio. The station is an amalgamation of several radio groups and so-called passive providers. The owner of the broadcasting license is the sponsoring association “Providers' Community in the FSK e. V. "(ABG). Members of the ABG are the three radio groups Radio Loretta, District Radio, and projekt r, as well as the passive providers Frauenmusikzentrum, Refugee Council Hamburg, Rockcity e. V., Regional Association of Socioculture and the Pinneberg Jewish Community. V. The general assembly of the ABG decides on the relevant questions of the broadcaster (program structure, content orientation, etc.). It meets monthly as a delegate plenary and consists of 18 voting members, 13 of whom are delegates of the radio groups. The other five are representatives of the passive providers.

The broadcasts are designed by the cross-radio group editorial teams: music editorial team, GuTzKi (thoughts and tones on the culture industry), editorial team 3, Studio F and the information department.

Working groups are provided for everyday work - office, finance, technology, etc.

In the broadcaster, contextualized in the inner-left discourse between anti-imperialist and anti - German groups in the radical left, political conflicts also arose, which in the past became a crucial test. Since 1999, several radio groups have criticized the anti-Semitic content of individual programs, whereupon they were again accused of undemocratic behavior and an authoritarian culture of debate.

Like most of the almost 30 free radio stations in German-speaking countries, the FSK is mainly financed by sponsoring members. In addition, the FSK is subsidized by public funds to a not insignificant extent. Sponsoring in the program by companies, like advertising, is not wanted and legally not permitted (Hamburg Media Act). The editorial and organizational work in the FSK is unpaid.

FSK publishes the 32-page program “transmitter” every month.
