History

Members of this body are ARD, ZDF and all 16 states.
While the program of the former Federal broadcaster Germany radio was allowed later to keep his name and program structure (initially it was still Germany Cologne Radio called ), a completely new program was in Berlin under the direction of the Program Director Gerda Hollunder on the legs: Germany Radio Berlin (DLR Berlin).

On 7 March 2005, the reformed program went under the name of Germany radio culture (without the majuscule included in the name) on the air.

Broadcasting technology

Beginning of September 2013 were also related to the spread on the medium wave frequency 990 kHz from the same location. About the Astra satellite system Germany radio culture is to receive digital DVB -S.
The FM transmitter network will be expanded gradually. Only in parts of eastern Germany Germany radio culture is broadcast nationwide on strong FM frequencies. In the former West Germany, however, the high-reach frequencies were already widely distributed in transmission start.
