Tip disco
The Tip Disko was a musical rating program in the GDR . It was broadcast for the first time on March 5, 1976 in the program of the Voice of the GDR radio station.
With the emergence of disco music in the mid-1970s , it was the second rating program in the voice of the GDR program , alongside the Beatkiste , in which mainly rock music was played . The show ran weekly on Fridays at 9:05 p.m. It was moderated by Harry Balkow-Gölitzer until 1980 and then by Thomas Froese. Machine Gun from the Commodores was the opening credits .
In the beginning, 13 tracks were played weekly by domestic bands as well as groups from Hungary , Poland , Bulgaria and others. There were three new releases and ten placements. From 1986 there were then two national ratings, separated by pop and rock titles, each with a new presentation. Five places were awarded in pop music and six in rock music. A title could be placed a maximum of six times. If the title was able to take first place at least four times, the performers received the tip disco diploma. Furthermore, weekly desired tracks were played, records, posters and stickers were raffled off for the winners of the week and fan club addresses were given. In the Beatles Oldie category, Beatles titles were played on a weekly basis.
The 500th broadcast was celebrated in autumn 1985 in a public event in the Karl-Marx-Städter Stadthalle .
