NDR 2 is the pop wave of Norddeutscher Rundfunk . It is the only NDR radio program that broadcasts advertising. Torsten Engel is the wave boss .

history

NDR 2 started on January 1, 1956 and emerged from the radio broadcaster NWDR Nord , which began broadcasting on April 30, 1950. On January 2, 1981, NDR 2 broadcast the first advertising block. Previously, the NDR was prohibited from broadcasting radio advertising.

Night program

In the night hours, NDR 2 took over an ARD community program until 1990. Initially this was the ARD night express , from the mid-1980s the ARD night rock and since 1990 the ARD pop night . Since Nachtrock and Popnacht did not close the entire night gap at that time, NDR 2 also temporarily took over the programming of SWF3 (with the programs Lollipop and Popfit) from Baden-Baden. On January 1, 1991, NDR 2 dropped out of the ARD night program and from then on designed its own 24-hour program with the broadcast "NDR-2-Nacht" during the night. Between 2011 and 2018 the NDR-2-Nacht was also broadcast on WDR 2 . Since January 17, 2018, NDR 2 has been taking over ARD Popnacht again as part of a restructuring of the night programs, now daily from Südwestrundfunk , produced by SWR3 .

Programs in the daily program

As an entertainment and service wave, NDR 2 has always tried to address a broad audience with its programs. Up until the beginning of the 1990s - in addition to international pop music - German hits could also be heard in the daily program. The cornerstone of the information in addition to the hourly news with the subsequent "NDR traffic studio" were the courier broadcasts in the morning (early courier), at noon (midday courier) and in the evening (evening courier), which were characterized by a high proportion of words. The entertainment programs during the week included “NDR2 in the morning”, the “Radioboulevard” in the early afternoon and “Espresso” in the late afternoon. The “record box” also ran at noon. The evening program was aimed at a younger audience; Rock music was played here that was not heard in the daily program. The programs “Der Club” and “Club Extra” should be mentioned here. The end of the weekly daily program was the program “Traumhaft” with light pop music. On Saturday afternoons on weekends, “Spielzeit” ran, followed by “Sport aktuell - Reports from the Bundesliga”, where the ARD conference was also broadcast. Programs on Saturday evening were the “Internationale Hitparade” (later: “Club Hitparade”) and “Traumhaft - Oldies zum Danzen”. In the summer there were also live broadcasts of the “Saturday Night Disco”. “ Between Hamburg and Haiti ” could be heard on Sunday morning on NDR 2, at noon “Oldies as desired” ran, in the 1980s the “Schlagerparade” or the “Knockers of the North”, a chart show, in the afternoon. In the mid-1990s, the afternoon was restructured; The daily comedy show "Kwatsch" with Uwe Bahn , Ulf Ansorge and Carlo von Tiedemann ran between 1pm and 2pm . The program "Traumhaft" was renamed "Club nach ten". The "World Chart Show" was broadcast on Sunday evenings. In 1997 almost all formats were standardized and from then on there were no more special programs, comedy shows or hit parades, but a mix of international and national pop music around the clock. From 1998 the presenters operated the broadcast connections on a weekly basis - previously, different presenters had been in the studio every day, except for the morning broadcast.

Program scheme

NDR 2 broadcasts 24 hours a day. The daily program is divided into morning, morning, afternoon and evening. The program schedule also includes special music programs from 9 p.m. to midnight. News programs (“couriers”) run around nine minutes each day at noon and Monday to Friday also at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. At the weekend, the Bundesliga show (Saturdays 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) with Uwe Bahn , Martin Roschitz or Moritz Cassalette stands out from the rest of the program. NDR 2 is moderated live around the clock every day. However, there are three exceptions: on weekdays between 5:05 and 6:00 am, part of the morning broadcast is pre-produced, and the "Celebrity Hitmix" is not broadcast live on the 1st Monday of the month.

Moderators

In contrast to the early days of NDR 2, nowadays people almost exclusively rely on moderators who previously moderated for commercial broadcasters (e.g. R.SH , Radio Hamburg , radio ffn and Antenne Bayern ). Most of the moderators stay on the NDR 2 program for a maximum of ten years, as they work as freelancers in the NDR and they are only employed for a maximum of 15 years in the NDR.

Well-known NDR-2 presenters of the past were Lutz Ackermann , Jan Malte Andresen , Gabi Bauer , Sabine Christiansen , Wilken F. Dincklage , Günter Fink , Wolfgang Hahn , Ulli Harraß , Eva Herman , Monika Jetter , Reinhold Kujawa , Brigitte Rohkohl , Wolf- Dieter Stubel , Gert Timmermann , Carlo von Tiedemann .
