Quotes

When, in 1987, Radio Z from Nuremberg was the first free radio station in Bavaria to receive a broadcast license with a wafer-thin majority of the media council , Merkl commented: "If we say today that the gay target group is allowed to broadcast, the lesbians will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow the fixers".
