Regular broadcasting began on September 22, 1997 . The program is made by many independently organized editorial teams whose employees work on a voluntary basis. In order to ensure broadcasting operations, the broadcaster receives grants from the Hessian State Media Authority (around half of the total annual budget of almost 120,000 euros, in 2017: around 60,000 euros) and is also dependent on additional income from sponsoring memberships and events.

In addition to music programs on various musical styles , magazine programs are devoted to cultural and social topics, and there is also a daily morning show, Scrambled X.
