Radio Dreyeckland is a non-commercial radio station from Germany based in Freiburg im Breisgau .
Emergence
The left-alternative radio project Radio Dreyeckland (RDL) was founded in 1977 as Radio Verte Fessenheim and is the oldest free radio in Germany. The first broadcast lasted twelve minutes and was broadcast on June 4, 1977. It was the best known political pirate channel in German-speaking countries. Since 1981 it has been called Radio Dreyeckland , which broadcasts across borders in the border triangle of Switzerland, France and Germany and arose from the resistance against the three nuclear power plants Fessenheim, Wyhl and Kaiseraugst . In a comparison of the countries, according to the makers, the Swiss PTT was the most ruthless prosecution authority.
After a raid in Alsace against Radio Dreyeckland, François Mitterrand also supported a petition to legalize the station. After becoming President of the Republic in 1981, he helped ensure that this also happened in France. With the liberalization of radio, Radio Dreyeckland was able to obtain official frequencies and establish itself on the French side as a private broadcaster, from which the politically oriented German and Swiss radio producers were initially able to continue broadcasting programs. German radio from Freiburg im Breisgau has been broadcasting its program since the late 1980s , and journalist Georg Restle also worked for the station.
The French radio of the same name had split up into two stations: Radio Dreyeckland , a commercial music station based in Mulhouse , which under the slogan "la radio des alsaciens" (the radio of the Alsatians) was able to occupy frequencies throughout the region at times, and Radio Dreyeckland Libre from Colmar , which continued to function as a community radio.
RDL arose from the anti-nuclear movement , but the range of topics soon expanded, including a. on occupied factories in France and in the 1980s on urban warfare in Freiburg. In the first years of its existence, RDL broadcast as a pirate station with a mobile transmitter, later from a permanent studio in Colmar. From April 20, 1985, the broadcasts came illegally directly from Freiburg. In January 1988, RDL received an official license to broadcast local radio in Germany. Since three providers had applied for the two free VHF frequencies, the responsible State Agency for Communication (LFK) divided the transmission time. Two competitors appealed against this because they feared a loss in advertising revenue. The LFK then banned the RDL, as a donation-financed broadcaster, from broadcasting. In mid-1988 there was an agreement and RDL has been broadcasting legally on the 102.3 MHz frequency from its Freiburg studio in the self-managed Grether area since then .
The term Dreyeckland refers to the border triangle Germany , France and Switzerland , which RDL regards as a catchment area. In addition to the Freiburg frequency 102.3 MHz, RDL and Radio Kanal Ratte (RKR) shared the frequency 104.5 MHz from the station Hohe Möhr (500 W) in Wiesental until December 31, 2007 . RDL broadcast its repeat and night programs there from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m., as well as a current morning radio; from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. you could hear the RKR program from Schopfheim for twelve hours .
In 2008/09 RDL was stuck in what was probably its worst economic crisis to date. The reason was a conflict with the State Office for Communication (LfK) over funding. Through a campaign that addressed the political conflicts between LfK and Baden-Württemberg's Free Radios, RDL recruited new members and filled the financial gap with this, as well as with donations of 500 times 50 euros.
RDL exchanges programs with similar projects such as Radio Z Nürnberg, Querfunk Karlsruhe, Radio Corax from Halle, etc. It initiated and participated in the information broadcast project zip-fm ! and on the audio portal freie-radios.net. RDL is organized in association with the other free radio stations in Baden-Württemberg in the Association for Free Social Radio (AFF). RDL is also a member of the Federal Association of Free Radios and AMARC .
Since the transmitter can hardly be received without interference via antenna in Freiburg - the frequency 102.3 MHz ( Vogtsburg-Totenkopf telecommunications tower ) is interfered with by two strong transmitters from Switzerland and France - RDL fights with the State Institute for Communication Baden-Württemberg - also legally - for a better frequency. RDL is also broadcast over cable , e.g. B. in Freiburg on the frequency 93.6 MHz and can be received on the Internet.
financing
The station is financed from two sources: from the contributions of the approx. 1,500 members of the Freundeskreis and from the state license fees. 0.01 percent of the fee revenue in Baden-Württemberg is paid by the State Office for Communication (LfK) to the nine free, non-commercial radios broadcasting in the state - for RDL that is around 51,000 euros per year.
program
"Radio Dreyeckland (RDL) is a left-wing, democratic radio in the region around Freiburg," says the station's editorial status. The program is based on this. In addition to permanent editorial offices such as women's and lesbian radio, Schwule Welle , the anarchist Black Channel , the prison radio and the “Linke Presseschau”, there is an information and lunch magazine, morning radio. There are a total of 80 editorial offices. The more or less alternative music programs, which are highly differentiated according to music styles, also take up a large part of the airtime. The native speaker programs in 14 different languages, from Russian, Portuguese and Persian to Korean, are also important. There is also group radio: individual groups (self-help groups, school classes, projects) produce programs that are broadcast on a supervised daily broadcasting slot.
Morning radio
The morning radio broadcasts Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. In particular, the around 15 employees take up political and cultural topics in their programs that have local relevance and are of interest in Freiburg, Lörrach and Schopfheim. In addition to a lot of music, interviews, studio talks and contributions, the event information for the entire Dreyeckland is always punctually at 9 a.m.
Gay wave
The program is primarily produced for gays between Offenburg and Basel as well as in the Black Forest and Alsace.
Even in the pioneering days of RDL as a pirate broadcaster, the gay wave was an integral part of the program. It has been broadcasting legally every Thursday since November 24, 1988, making it the oldest active gay radio program in Germany. Since June 25, 2009 every fourth Thursday of the month has been designed by the sub-editorial team "Radio RainbowStars".
Towards the end of the program, regional and national event tips and group dates are announced.
The team consists of gay or bisexual boys and men. The sub-editorial team "Radio RainbowStars" is mixed-sex. As usual with RDL, there is no strict separation between moderation and technology, everyone does this or that. Editorial meetings take place by arrangement.
35 millimeters
Another item on the program is the film magazine 35 millimeters , which is broadcast for one hour once a month on the first Wednesday. In addition to film reviews and festival reports, the focus is on discussions, interviews with filmmakers and film musical interludes. An integral part of the program is the so-called Film Quartet , which is named after the Literary Quartet . A changing line-up discusses a current movie in a round of 20 minutes. Even at 35 millimeters , there is no separation between editorial work, moderation and technology.
