program

General

Up to 1999 only about 40% were produced in-house, the program was taken over by NDR Info when there was no broadcast . There has been a 24-hour program since 2001, which is taken over by an automatic music flow control system during the night after the last public radio broadcast (usually starting between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.) and until 6 a.m., as well as during the day at other unoccupied broadcasting slots. Today's program consists of editorially designed programs and community radio programs. The choice of music is diverse, but there are fixed categories. The local news is produced by the editorial staff and made available to the public free of charge in an online news archive with a news stock since 2005. The international news has been taken over by the cooperation partner Deutschlandfunk since 2004 .

Citizen broadcasts

A large part of the broadcasts that can be heard on StadtRadio Göttingen are part of the citizens' radio program, which gives everyone the opportunity to create their own radio broadcast. Citizen radio training is required for this, which is offered by StadtRadio. The subject and content of these programs can be freely and independently determined. It follows that the responsibility for the content lies with the programmer (based on the Lower Saxony Media Act and the SRG's usage regulations) - the StadtRadio only provides the technology. A list of citizen radio broadcasts can be found under the web links below.

In addition, you can the transmitter via an mp3 - live stream received. Selected contributions from the editorial program and community radio can also be downloaded as audio files.

Equipment of the transmitter

StadtRadio Göttingen started in 1997 with two broadcast studios and two editing suites . The broadcast studios were analogue with Soundcraft Series 10s broadcast consoles. The majority of the contributions were broadcast on tape, all of the pre-produced programs by DAT. Music was played from CD or MD. In 2004, RadioCLIENT introduced digital broadcast control. The community radio studio has been completely digitalized since August 2008 - the DHD RM 2200 is used as a transmitter console.

In addition, the StadtRadio Göttingen was the first non-commercial broadcaster in Lower Saxony to use sound processing with a digital signal processor from the Optimod brand since 2000 . An analog Orban 8101-B was in use until 2002, after which a digital Omnia 4.5-FM was used. The sender crossbar is still completely analog.

The feed to the transmitter Bovenden / Osterberg is realized via a digital 2x2 Mbit line from Telekom.
