Radio Monte Carlo Swiss was a Swiss radio station. From 2006 onwards, it broadcasted on the cable network throughout German-speaking Switzerland and on the Internet .

history

The station was operated by Music First Network AG , founded by Giuseppe Scaglione as managing director, and was a Swiss branch of the Italian broadcaster Radio Monte Carlo . Radio Monte Carlo Swiss was created to complement the youth station Radio 105 , which has also been operated by Music First Network AG since 1998 .

In 2014 Music First Network AG went bankrupt. Radio 105 was bought up together with its two sister programs by the Zurich broadcaster Radio 1 , but only wanted to continue operating the main broadcaster profitably. The former homepage of Radio Monte Carlo Swiss will be forwarded to Radio 1, more details on Radio 105 .

profile

The operator himself defined his station as “premium and quality radio” for an older target group. Musically it concentrated on music of different styles, starting from pop music , whereby the emphasis was not placed on chart hits, through soul , blues and jazz to nu jazz , nu soul, chillout and lounge music . The program was supplemented by information broadcasts. On the other hand, there was no entertainment moderation.
