List of radio stations

The radio station has modern technology.

Radio Corax is a free radio in Halle (Saale) . It started broadcasting on July 1, 2000.

As a non-commercial local radio station , Radio Corax broadcasts 24 hours a day. Radio Corax can be received terrestrially in Halle and in southern Saxony-Anhalt on the VHF frequency 95.9 MHz (cable 99.9 MHz or 96.25 MHz) and on the Internet via live stream.

Corax is a member of the Bundesverband Freier Radios (BFR) and the Community Media Forum Europe (CMFE). Radio Corax has also been a member of AMARC since 2013 .

organization

The station is supported by the non-profit radio association Corax e. V., which was founded in 1993. In addition to the executive board, which is elected every two years, other organs of the association are the general assembly, the advisory board and the management. Members of the association are around 350 people who organize the radio program on a voluntary basis. Radio Corax has five part-time employees to ensure transmission operations.

The editorial statute to be complied with forms the basis of all program content.

The Friends and Friends of Free Radio have existed since 2006 and support Radio Corax with fundraising campaigns and financial donations.

program

Most of the 150 programs are designed by the company's own editorial team. These consist of individuals, artists, migrants, students, children, anti-racist and other project groups.

In addition to music specials programs in the evening, Radio Corax reports daily in a morning, lunchtime and evening magazine. The broadcast times for this are in the morning from 7:00 to 10:10, at noon from 13:00 to 15:10 and in the evening from 18:00 to 19:00. Since the beginning of 2009 this transmission line has expanded in a further direction. The morning magazines on Tuesday and Thursday are broadcast from the broadcasting studios of Leipzig's free radio station Radio Blau . These programs are designed by the editorial staff of Radio Corax. The in- house technicians from the Terminal.21 project developed a Linux-based stream server from a set-top box (S100 from T-Online). This feeds the signal from the Radio Blau studio into the Radio Corax broadcasting studio, from where it goes on its frequency into the airwaves. Since spring 2011 there have been further collaborations with free radios in Germany. In 2011 and 2012, the daily program Vitjas Depth was designed together with the Freie Sender Kombinat (FSK) Hamburg once a month . The weekly magazine Radia Obskura has been broadcast since May 2011, a cooperation between corax and the Berlin Pi Radio . In terms of editorial content, Radio Corax participates in the exchange of broadcasts and contributions with other free radios via an online portal.

Magazine programs on the topics of politics, culture, the environment, Europe, the university or the media are part of the program. There are also experimental radio forms and radio art . Radio Corax broadcasts in eleven different languages.

Radio Erevan

Since 2006 the artist Marold Langer-Philippsen has been producing a fortnightly radio program entitled “Radio Erevan”. The start of the regular broadcast was the radio art festival " RadioRevolten ", at which Langer-Philippsen broadcast several hours a day from a construction trailer on the market square in Halle.

Since then, the program has been produced either live from events or as a pre-produced collage of interviews, live recordings and artistic elements. In the program, the story is often spread that Langer-Philippsen received the official order to continue the station.

Unimono

Unimono was a program by students from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . It was broadcast twice a month for 50 minutes each time. The program was originally founded as a media and communication science seminar in 2004. Golo Föllmer played a key role in this. Over time, Unimono has made itself independent of institutes, almost half of the active participants came from other fields of study and the program was designed independently. The initial form of a magazine program was retained. The topics of the program ranged from political to entertaining, from classic contributions to experimental radio. The focus of all programs was usually on student issues. In 2016, the editorial team was restructured and since then has devoted itself to scientific topics under the name “Kopfkram”.

ĐứcViệtCorax

Between August 2010 and November 2012 there was a Vietnamese-German school radio with the name ĐứcViệtCorax (DVC for short) - the name translates as “German-Vietnamese Corax”. Ten young people between the ages of 13 and 15 created a one-hour program every month. The programs were in German. The editorial team was brought into being in cooperation with the Vietnamese Association in Halle eV based on the model of the already existing Funkloch editorial team . The first broadcast was broadcast on September 26, 2010. Topics originated primarily from the world of the young people, because they made their own decisions about the content and created it themselves. Upon request, they were accompanied by media educators from Radio Corax. In autumn 2011, the editors received financial support from the Halle-Saalkreis volunteer agency in order to implement the ĐứcViệtCorax against violence project. At the end of the project a CD with discussions and interviews was published. This combination won the 9th Freestyle Youth Engagement Competition in Saxony-Anhalt and received the main prize.

In autumn 2011, the editorial team organized the radio poetry youth radio competition . This competition was continued in the following years, but no longer under the care of ĐứcViệtCorax.

Common Voices

In March 2016, the Common Voices project started, which gives refugees from Halle and the surrounding area the opportunity to create their own programs. The aim is to give the topics of the editorial members a public and thus to create an understanding for the living situation of refugees.

Common Voices broadcasts weekly on Thursdays at 4:10 p.m. The programs are broadcast from the Radio Corax studios or mobile from various locations in the city of Halle. They are multilingual and are archived in a publicly accessible manner on their own website.

Projects

Radio revolts

Radio revolts are decadal radiophonic interventions that usually last 30 days. The venue is Halle (Saale), the ether and the digital world .

In autumn 2006, the Radio Revolten, international festival on the future of radio, was organized as a cooperation project with the German Federal Cultural Foundation . With around 50 connected radio stations as well as audio and media artists from all over Europe, it was the most extensive radio art project in the free media sector in Germany to date. The focus of the exhibitions, radio broadcasts, radio interventions in public space and the international congress “ Relating Radio ” were perspectives and models of the artistic appropriation of the radio medium. Among the guests of the festival were Lou Mallozzi , Anna Friz , Knut Aufermann and Sarah Washington.

In October 2016 the second Radio Revolten took place with the subtitle "International Radio Art Festival". 84 artists from 21 countries were invited to Halle within 30 days. With performances on stage and on air, installations, a historical exhibition, workshops, the conference “Radio Space is the Place” and interventions in public space, a wide variety of approaches to radio art were presented. Artistic director was Knut Aufermann , the board of trustees consisted of Anna Friz , Sarah Washington, Ralf Wendt and Elisabeth Zimmermann. At the opening on October 1, 2016, the artist Rochus Aust performed his 8th symphony together with the 1st German Electricity Orchestra as an open air concert from the roofs around the market square in line with the carillon in the Red Tower . The guests included Ed Baxter, Chris Cutler , Willem de Ridder, Alessandro Bosetti , Hartmut Geerken , Gregory Whitehead and LIGNA. Parallel to the festival, the Federal Association of Independent Radios invited to its annual congress in Halle from October 20 to 23, 2016.

InterAudio

InterAudio promoted intercultural cooperation and international exchange. Part of this project was, among other things, an Eastern European archive for free radios and a program for intercultural radio training. The result of the project was a handbook on intercultural media education. As part of further projects and European learning partnerships, these documents were expanded or further developed with a focus on specific issues. Radio Corax continues to be involved in the development of teaching materials and training units for the further education of people with special needs within the framework of EU projects and cooperations.

European radio

The European journalistic project included a weekly magazine “Interaudio Europe”, as well as other articles and news in the Radio Corax program. Together with Radio Z in Nuremberg, a correspondent's office was set up in Brussels for the first time.

Addicted2Random

In July 2013, Radio CORAX organized the radio and sound art festival Addicted2Random (A2R) in cooperation with the Handel House Foundation in Halle. The aim was to explore the variable “ chance ” as a parameter in the European music landscape. In addition to the exhibition “The Way Things May Go” in the Handel House, artists such as Knut Aufermann , Sarah Washington, Xentos “Fray” Bentos, Aoki Takamasa and Felix Kubin performed . The festival was funded by the EU Culture Program, the Saxony-Anhalt Art Foundation and the British Council . The project was initiated and managed by the Salzburg radio factory .

Livestream

In addition to terrestrial reception, the Radio Corax program can also be received on the Internet via live stream. Current contributions from the program are presented on the broadcaster's homepage and offered for download as a podcast on the exchange platform of the Federal Association of Free Radios (BFR) and archived at the same time.

Awards

On November 6, 2010, Radio CORAX was awarded a prize of EUR 1,500 for its journalistic work by the German Association of Journalists in Saxony-Anhalt. At the Landespresseball Sachsen-Anhalt, the chairman of the regional association Uwe Gajowski particularly emphasized the critical discussion of topics in the program of Radio CORAX.

In spring 2011, Radio CORAX received the first-ever special prize for media creativity as part of the politik und culture journalist prize awarded by the German Cultural Council . This honored the live discussion series Halle-Forum. Other winners were either Broder - Die Deutschland-Safari , Reinhard Baumgarten, radio journalist for Südwestrundfunk , the author Daniel Gräfe, the television journalist Peter Scharf and the Kakadu editorial team from Deutschlandradio Kultur .

On May 5, 2011, the political education work and the opportunities for political participation on and through Radio CORAX were recognized by the Federal Committee on Political Education (bap). In the justification it was stated that media literacy is not imparted as an end in itself, but rather as the basis for an equal and critical examination of society. An important element for this is also the willingness to experiment in the further development of communication and participation forms.
