In the 1990s, Hildesheim was initially disregarded when the State Broadcasting Act provided for local radio in model tests . In 1999, the University of Hildesheim wanted to have a university radio , and a one-hour magazine program was produced on CD as part of the cultural education course .

As part of the world exhibition Expo 2000, an event radio broadcast in the YouthCamp 2000 at Hildesheimer Hohnsensee for six weeks. It was named after the bathing lake near the university, a former clay pit , Radio Tonkuhle. After that there was a university radio with several hours of live programs per week that could only be heard on the Internet. The program Druckausgleich , which is considered to be the oldest broadcast on Radio Tonkuhle that still exists, could also be heard .
