history

Initially, the one-hour format only went on air on two working days, a little later from Monday to Friday and formed a fixed point in the evening bar of Ö3. The content was the problems of adolescents in particular, there were reports on questions of vocational training, school, relationship problems, etc. or also about juveniles who had committed criminal offenses or travel reports. Staff and content often overlapped with the Musicbox , but ZigZag was less theory-heavy and less music-oriented than the “Box”. Dirk Stermann and Christoph Grissemann got to know each other in the ZickZack editorial team and a little later founded the satirical format “ Salon Helga ”. From the summer of 1993, Mischa Zickler designed a radio soap opera as part of ZickZack Blauberg . Other employees were Albert Malli , Monika Halkort , Claudia Huemer, Elisabeth Scharang , Marie-Claire Messinger, Thomas Rottenberg, Martin Pieper, Mirjam Unger , Bernhard Knoll, Hans Wu, Lukas Sturm, Bernhard Fellinger, Renate Heilig, Margit Draxel, Eva Umbauer and Martin Blumenau . As a program-historical succession on the youth culture radio stations can FM4 being broadcast " FM4's bedroom " and "FM4 Connected" apply.
