Welle 1 is the name of several radio stations in Austria - currently in parts of Salzburg , Upper Austria and Carinthia as well as in the greater Innsbruck & Tyrol area and in the city of Graz . In terms of content, the stations were positioned very differently; The Salzburg and Innsbruck waves see themselves as fresh radio; The Oberländer / Ausserferner Wellen, on the other hand, remained largely true to the Arabella format until the content was realigned in 2010 . All Wave 1 stations are now in Hot AC format.

history

With the start of private radio on April 1, 1998, five stations went on air in Austria that bore the brand name "Welle 1" or the associated branding. It was not a broadcasting chain and apart from the common brand presence, there was also no content-related cooperation. These channels were:

  • 106.2 Welle 1 Music Radio in Salzburg (today WELLE 1 music radio - with some frequencies in Salzburg)
  • Welle alpin in Pinzgau, Pongau and Lungau (today part of KroneHit )
  • 92.6 Wave 1 Music Radio Linz (today WELLE 1 music radio Upper Austria with 5 frequencies - Linz, Wels, Steyr, Kremsmünster, Kirchdorf)
  • 106.5 Wave 1 city radio in Innsbruck (today wave 1 - Tyrol's hit guarantee )
  • Wave 1 Oberland in Imst (today wave 1 - Tyrol's hit guarantee )
  • Wave 1 Carinthia (Wave 1 music radio)

In autumn 1998, Welle Oberland (successor to Welle 1 Oberland) followed in the Tyrolean Oberland , which after an interlude as Radio Arabella Oberland (2001-2004) now broadcasts again as Welle Oberland - in close association with the Ausserferner local radio ( Radio Express , later Radio Arabella Ausserfern ), which was also renamed Wave Ausserfern in 2004.

In December 2003, some frequencies from the Kronehit network were outsourced to Welle 1 Steyr and incorporated into the Salzburg program. Innsbrucker & Linzer Welle both had to surrender their broadcasting license to Kronehit and had to apply for a new license, which is why they broadcast on different frequencies today - on 92.9 MHz and 104.1 MHz in Tyrol and 91.8 MHz in Linz .

Today, Welle Radios Tirol broadcasts almost the entire region on ten frequencies - with the exception of the Kitzbühel & East Tyrol districts. Authorized signatory Elfriede Schlatter. Since 2007 the private radio has been broadcasting under the umbrella brand Welle Radios Tirol and the broadcasting area of Welle 1 has been expanded into the Unterland (Schwaz-Kufstein).

In 2010 Welle Oberland & Welle Ausserfern got a rebranding; Like their mother station, Welle 1 92.9, they are now youth radios and are broadcast in parallel.

Wave 1 Music Radio Salzburg broadcasts in Salzburg and the surrounding area on 106.2 MHz. In March 2008, Wave 1 lost the Upper Austrian frequencies 102.6 and 107.5, but was awarded the 91.8 MHz frequency for Linz a little later and now broadcasts there as Wave 1 Music Radio Linz .

On March 6, 2009 the station got the frequencies 102.6 and 107.5 back.

Since the beginning of September 2010, Welle 1 has also been broadcasting on the former antenna Wels frequency - at 98.3 MHz.

WELLE 1 now broadcasts on five frequencies in Upper Austria (Linz: 91.8 MHz / Wels: 98.3 MHz / Steyr: 102.6 MHz / Kirchdorf: 107.5 MHz and Kremsmünster: 106.6 MHz)

Since February 2013, Welle Salzburg GmbH & Co. KG has also been represented in Carinthia with the Welle 1 program. It is broadcast on the former frequencies of Radio Harmonie (Villach and the surrounding area: 99.7 MHz, Klagenfurt / Wörthersee area: 95.2 MHz and Spittal an der Drau: 106.6 MHz). Another frequency supplies parts of the St. Veit and Völkermarkt district via the Brückl transmitter on the 98.2 MHz frequency.

In 2015, Welle 1 also started in Vienna as part of the DAB + test operation. However, the station left test operation after a year.

The transmitter also received approval for the 102.1 MHz frequency in Vienna in May 2017, but this has not yet been put into operation.

Brand identity

The logo of the waves originally consisted of an orange circle with a white border, above which the frequency was prominently placed on single-frequency transmitters, with the name "Wave 1" above and the name affix ("Stadtradio", "alpin" etc.) below the circle. The color scheme has been retained until today; the circle, however, has been abolished in favor of a purely typographic design.
