history
Radio Belgrade's predecessor, Radio Beograd-Rakovica , began its program in 1924 and was part of the state telegraph stations. The station was restructured and started as Radio Belgrad Aktiengesellschaft in March 1929. The program consisted of music, news, radio dramas and theater recordings.
Belgrade soldier broadcaster
After Belgrade was bombed by the Axis powers on April 6, 1941 ( company criminal court ), the broadcast ended. After the city and the station were occupied, the German Wehrmacht operated it as a Belgrade soldier station on the same frequency. The station's program could be received throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region between Narvik and Cairo . One of the station's lieutenants brought back little-known songs from the Reichsender Wien , including a little-known piece, Lili Marleen, sung by Lale Andersen . Due to the lack of tracks, the broadcaster often had this song in its program. Due to a brief ban on broadcasting by Heinrich Himmler and the resulting wave of letters from soldiers from all over Europe, Radio Belgrade Lili Marleen began to broadcast again and played Andersen's recording every evening shortly before the broadcast closed at 9:55 pm. The song became so popular that soldiers from all armies, such as the German Africa Corps stationed in the Mediterranean and the British 8th Army , regularly tuned in to the broadcast.
Post-war period
After Tito's partisans took power in Yugoslavia in 1944, Radio Belgrade grew into a new, influential state radio medium, this time under communist command.
Today Radio Belgrade produces five different programs. The station has a valuable archive of several hundred thousand recordings, magnetic tape cassettes and CDs.
Radio Belgrade has been using a PC-based radio playout system known as HD Player since 1994 .
