Stand for Who beats John xxl

If there is still no winner, the jackpot rises and the candidate starts again after the tie in the next morning broadcast. The quiz starts with 103.60 euros , depending on the frequency of the station . If the listener loses or John Ment wins, the jackpot rises to 200 euros.

Das Bo , Roberto Blanco , Marcel Reif , Michaela Schaffrath and Peter Kloeppel .

Comedy

In the program some nationally known comedians run with excerpts from their live programs. The station's own comedy editorial team also writes and produces its own elements:

  • Radio Hamburg News-Show : Current events are presented in a humorous way in this fictional news program. The characters Jessica Burmeister, constantly changing interview partners and the reporter Olli Hansen are spoken by the Hamburg comedian Buddy Ogün . Radio Hamburg Comedy boss Didi Simon speaks the role of the news anchor Peter von Rumpold. The comedy runs daily Monday through Friday at 5:40 a.m., 7:17 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. In addition, all episodes are available online on the station homepage.

  • "Fact or stupid?": Monday to Friday at 6:10 am and 8:10 am, three statements are made and the candidate has to decide whether a fact has been mentioned or whether the statement is "stupid", i. H. is not true. The candidate has the chance of at least 50 euros a day if he is correct. If the current candidate does not win, the money ends up in the jackpot and the profit increases for the next candidate.

Listeners help children

Since 1988 the station has been collecting with Radio Hamburg Listeners Help Children e. V. donate for needy children and families in the broadcasting area. Various campaigns and calls for radio have raised over 4 million euros since the beginning. The money is collected all year round, increasingly around Christmas time and in the donation marathon with prominent support until shortly before Christmas Eve .

Further program actions

  • Radio Hamburg listeners: The station plays the game Radio Hamburg listeners with the listeners at irregular intervals . A sound is played to the listener on the radio and he has to guess how it is created. With every wrong tip, the jackpot increases by a predetermined amount. In October 2005, the broadcaster paid out the highest ever cash profit on North German radio: 164,000 euros. Since the first round of the game, according to their own information, more than one million euros have been raised.
  • Radio Hamburg Money Ment: The presenter of the morning program, John Ment , pays the bills submitted by listeners as Money Ment - provided that the listener reports within a certain period of time after his bill has been read out in the program.
  • Mama Cash: In 1999, 2001 and 2012 the station Mama Cash played with the listeners. When registered listeners call back the station on the phone with the cash code and the claim "Radio Hamburg - More variety with the mega hits of the 90s, 2000s and today's best", the fictional Mama Cash money printing machine is activated. It prints the amount to the listener and he decides whether the amount should be increased or he accepts the winnings. The amount increases at will, but can also drop to zero and the listener is left empty-handed. In 2012, up to 5,000 euros were possible per game round.
  • Radio Hamburg program manager: The station regularly asks its listeners for ideas on programming. This campaign resulted in, for example: the desired program Alles geht (weekdays from 5 to 6 p.m. and every Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m.), the live hour (every Wednesday from 8 p.m.), the mashup . Every idea implemented was rewarded with a cash prize of 500 euros.
  • Radio Hamburg Mega-Talent: In 2008/2009 and 2010/2011 the station hosted the Radio Hamburg Mega-Talent casting . In this casting, talent in the fields of singing and entertainment could apply. The jury consisted of three people who gave their opinion on the talent of the participants after the candidate had appeared. The jury decided whether the candidate would advance or not. Shortly before the end of the campaign, Radio Hamburg listeners were able to vote for the best candidates for the final by online voting. At the end of the casting show, the competitors faced each other in the recording studio for the final. The talent with the most votes was the Radio Hamburg Mega Talent and rewarded with a prize of 20,000 or 25,000 euros.
  • Radio Hamburg's next weather fairy: In 2008, the station looked for a new weather expert for the morning broadcast through a casting. The listeners applied for the moderation job with videos they had shot themselves. In the end, the listeners voted for their favorite among the finalists via online voting. The winner was Sarah Berg, who switched to radio station RPR1 in 2011 . The presenters Lasse Lehmann and Natalie Strauss also emerged from this casting.
  • Radio Hamburg @ School: In November 2014, the station gave away a concert by [Adel Tawil] among all schools in Hamburg. The concert took place on November 19, 2014 in the Geschwister-Scholl district school in Hamburg-Lurup.
