Pirate Gong (formerly Pirate Radio ) is a private radio broadcaster in the DAB Ensemble Nuremberg (Kanal 10C).

The radio station is part of the Funkhaus Nürnberg Studiobetriebs-GmbH , which Hit Radio N1 , Charivari 98.6 , Gong 97.1 and Radio F founded in 1995. In 1999, Pirate Radio was added as the fifth radio program.

history

Pirate Radio was the first purely digital youth radio in Middle Franconia for the target group of 14-29 year olds. Pirate Radio was partly owned by Radio Gong Nürnberg Programmaker GmbH (30%), Neue Welle Franken - Antenne Nürnberg Hörfunkprogrammgesellschaft mbH (30%), Radio F Programm- und Werbegesellschaft mbH (30%), Radio 5 Programm- und Werbegesellschaft mbH (0.6 %), Hit Radio N1 Providergesellschaft mbH (9.4%).

Until August 2007, the station designed its program exclusively with music from the last five years ( house , hip-hop , techno , trance ) and broadcast it in CD quality. Remixes and club versions of current hits could also be heard. With the program change in 2007, the old program was only broadcast between 11pm and 6am. During the day, new tracks from the music genres Black / Hip-Hop / Alternative / Dance could be heard in their original versions.

Pirate Gong today

On April 26, 2011, Pirate Radio was renamed Pirate Gong , which offered a program with the musical colors indie, grunge, alternative and new modern rock on the same slot.

In July 2018, the BLM approved a further realignment of the station into the music genres pop, modern folk pop, pop-rock (German / English) and the renaming to "Mein Radio".

On October 10, 2018, “My Favorite Radio” started as a follow-up project.

The station could be received terrestrially via DAB in the greater Nuremberg area and was fed into the cable television networks in the greater Nuremberg area. After the terrestrial transmission was discontinued, Pirate Radio was only offered via webstream from October 2018.

Since October 2019, Pirate Radio has been broadcasting again in the regional DAB + multiplex Nuremberg (Channel 10C).
