List of radio stations

SWF1 was the name of the first radio program of Südwestfunk (claim up to the merger: "Mitten im Leben", previously "Eine Welle weiter" and others). This state broadcaster existed from 1949 to 1998, then it merged with Süddeutscher Rundfunk to form Südwestrundfunk . The Südwestfunk was based in Baden-Baden and broadcast for Rhineland-Palatinate and southern Baden-Württemberg .

Several times a day, SWF1 broadcast separate programs for the two federal states. While the program for Rhineland-Palatinate came from Mainz , the Tübingen and Freiburg studios alternated with the program for southern Baden-Württemberg.

history

Until 1951, the Südwestfunk only had one radio program. SWF1 changed its "face" again and again in the course of its existence. In the fifties, SWF1 focused on current events with programs such as “Tribüne der Zeit”, “Alone against all - by and with Hans Rosenthal” on entertainment and musically in thematically arranged genres - there was still a broadcasting deadline at midnight, after the The German national anthem was broadcast until 5 a.m. In the sixties SWF1 became a full program. Programs like “Happy Weekend” and “Today Noon” were added. In the middle of the sixties, the then director Helmut Hammerschmidt brought young journalists to Baden-Baden, who created a new radio format almost simultaneously with the WDR: The political magazine (“Heute Mittag”). In the middle to almost the end of the sixties there were programs like the “Red Cross Tracing Service” (people who were missing due to the chaos of war were searched for). In the seventies, music became more international - the main musical component was hits and popular music. Even Rolf-Hans Müller with the SWF dance orchestra gave their music color. Conversation formats such as “Sound off… - on” and “Stay on the line” have been introduced, especially for Saturday afternoon and evening. For several years, the hour from 4:05 p.m. was reserved for cabaret and satire on weekdays.

In the eighties the program “Gute Laune aus Südwest” was introduced (8–12), in the afternoon there was (2–17) the “Radiotreff”, regionally separated from 4pm. The request concert on Wednesday evening, “From the phone to the microphone”, about the moderators, see below remained particularly popular . The Sunday program “From ten to twelve”, long with the subtitle “Music in Stereophony ”, for which the radio orchestra made many contributions, brought a more upscale and festive musical note .

Before the introduction of S4 Baden-Württemberg, the program was cross-generational, with a high proportion of words and many special-interest programs. In the last few years before the merger, SWF1 was a music-rich format radio that, according to the program makers , should serve listeners who were too old for SWF3 and too young for S4 Baden-Württemberg / SWF4 Rhineland-Palatinate . On September 3, 1988, Radio Breisgau went on air, a sub-regional program for the greater Freiburg area , initially on the waves of SWF1. From 1991 the program was broadcast as a regional window by S4 Baden-Württemberg, and since 1998 by SWR4 Baden-Württemberg .

Program alignment

SWF1 was a diverse program for listeners who wanted to stay up to date. It was structured in large program areas and offered information from politics, business, culture, sport and society throughout the day. In the event of particularly significant events, current special programs interrupted the planned program sequence. From 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., always at half past one, the state studios in Mainz, Freiburg and Tübingen switched on their news programs Rheinland-Pfalz aktuell and Baden-Württemberg aktuell and came up with reports, information and voices from the state , the regions and the cities.

The SWF1 magazines Morgenradio (6:05 am to 8:00 am), Gute Laune aus Südwest (8:05 am to 11:40 am) and Ton ab ... (2:05 pm to 5:00 pm) presented a program with live reports, correspondent reports, comments, studio guests, expert opinions, everyday help, household tips, puzzles, glosses and humor. The current magazine Today Noon ran initially from 1:05 p.m., later it was moved an hour forward. SWF1 also reported on regional and international sporting events: Tuesdays to Fridays in the program Acht Plus, Saturdays in the SWF1 sports report and on Sunday afternoons in Sport aktuell.

In addition, from the end of 1991, SWF1 provided information every half hour about the traffic situation on the roads in the broadcasting area. SWF1 was broadcast on FM and medium wave (1017 kHz, 666 kHz and 828 kHz). SWF1 could also be received in digital quality via the Astra digital radio.
