The Rems-Murr-Bürgerradio (RMB for short) was a private radio station in Waiblingen , which existed from 1988 to 2004.
history
The Rems-Murr-Bürgerradio (RMB) started broadcasting on December 6, 1988, but had to stop broadcasting after just a few hours due to a formal error by the LfK Baden-Württemberg when the license was granted. It was not until July 1989 that the RMB was able to resume its trial operations, and on August 21, 1989 the regular broadcasting program started. At the beginning, reception was only possible terrestrially in the Rems-Murr district , later reception was also possible in the districts of Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart as well as via cable.
The owner of the radio station was the Weng family, who sold their shares in the station to Energy Stuttgart in 2004 for health reasons . This ended the history of the Rems-Murr-Bürgerradios as an independent broadcaster. Since then, NRJ has been broadcasting from Ludwigsburg.
Trivia
At the beginning of the broadcast, broadcasts were from a cellar in a house on Waiblinger Dammstrasse. In 1993, the station moved - as the first private radio broadcaster in Baden-Württemberg - to its own broadcasting facility at Anton-Schmidt-Strasse 36 ( Lage ) in the Eisental industrial area of Waiblingen. There was a separate recording studio in the basement of the radio building, which was named B 14 recording studio. Bundesstrasse 14 , which runs within sight of the former broadcasting house, was the inspiration for the recording studio. In 2003 the recording studio was given up.
RMB broadcast a weekly jazz program from January 1990 to August 2000, RMB SWINGTIME, and with more than 10 years of regularly presented jazz on private radio set a record in the German radio landscape.
