Truckradio (spelling: TruckRadio) was a private radio station of Starlet Media AG based in Fürth , Bavaria . Truckradio broadcast a program consisting primarily of country and rock music and addressed the target group of professional drivers ("truckers") and long-term drivers .

history

The transmitter started broadcasting on December 6, 2004 via medium-wave transmitters in Jülich and Nordkirchen . The program should be aimed at a target group of 25–65 year olds. The word share was between 5% and 25%. The program was moderated live Monday through Saturday and there was news every hour.

The station could be received on several medium wave frequencies in Germany until September 2008 and also via FM in Austria .

The end of broadcasting

In Austria , truck radio was broadcast terrestrially via VHF in Spittal an der Drau , but expansion thanks to two new frequencies was never carried out. At the beginning of 2008, KommAustria did not renew the license .

As a result, the broadcaster filed for bankruptcy in mid-May 2008.
