history

The name "HoRadS" comes with a small pun on the Roman poet Horace back is paramount but the acronym for Ho chschul rad io S tuttgart. "HORADS" has been broadcasting since January 1st, 2004. The beginnings of the Stuttgart university radio, at that time still written "HoRadS", go back to a web radio that was made in 1999 from a small production studio at what was then the University of Library and Information Science (HBI) in Stuttgart sent. After the merger of HBI with the Hochschule für Druck und Medien (HDM) to become the Hochschule der Medien (HdM) in 2001, a new studio was put into operation at the Nobelstrasse location of the new Hochschule der Medien, which took over the entire broadcasting process. In 2005/06, two more studios and editorial rooms were built in Nobelstrasse. Until the end of 2009, HORADS only broadcast in the mornings, as the station had to share the 99.2 MHz frequency at that time with the local community radio in Stuttgart.

At the beginning of 2010, the University Radio Stuttgart received approval as a learning radio from the State Office for Communication (LFK) Baden-Württemberg and has been broadcasting around the clock on the new VHF frequency 88.6 MHz on the Internet as a live stream since January 1, 2010. The program can also be heard live via apps.
