Broadcasting

Radio

Among the radio programmes, Radio SRF Musikwelle has the longest history, as it was originally the flagship frequency on the medium wave frequency 529 kHz, broadcasting news from its central antenna near Beromünster. “Radio Beromünster” was, during World War II, together with the British BBC, one of the few independent radio programmes that could be received in large parts of Western Europe. Jean Rudolf von Salis, a Swiss historian, commented in his weekly “Weltchronik” ("world chronicle") on the development of the war and other international events. With the introduction of VHF radio in the 1960s, the service on 529 kHz was transformed into the “Musikwelle” music service. The Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975 mandated the frequency shift to 531 kHz. In 2008, the Beromünster antenna was deactivated. FM, DAB and online:
