Legal basis
The original broadcasting law for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia of December 19, 1986 was replaced on July 2, 2002 by the state media law of North Rhine-Westphalia (LMG). It provides for a "two-pillar model" for private radio, according to which two independent forms of organization must be set up at the same time in order to be granted a license ("broadcast license"). According to Section 52 (1) LMG, an organizing association must use an operating company:
- the organizing community is a non-profit association in which all socially relevant local groups are represented. A maximum of 22 people are allowed, at Radio Cologne there are 18. She is responsible for programming;
- the operating company in a private legal form assumes responsibility for finances and technology. Up to 75% of the local newspaper publishers (§ 59 Paragraph 3 LMG) and 25% the local community (§ 59 Paragraph 5 LMG) are involved.
According to § 53 LMG, the local radio is committed to the common good , whereby local programs must "represent the public happenings in the area of distribution and contain essential parts of information, education, advice and entertainment". They are intended to promote journalistic competition, must not be aimed exclusively at specific target groups and should be geared towards being accepted by radio participants.

The decline in sales and profits is mainly due to the significantly lower sales commissions of the non-film program supplier Radio NRW, because the range “listeners yesterday Monday to Friday 14+” fell from 27.8% (March 2011) to 18.2% (March 2012) .
