Radio station
Blue Danube Radio (BDR) was an English-language radio station broadcast by the Österreichischer Rundfunk (English: Austrian Broadcasting ; a.k.a. ORF).
History [ edit ] Blue Danube Radio went live on 23 August 1979, created principally for the United Nations community at UNO-City in Vienna . It was popular with many Austrian people too. The name "Blue Danube" was also previously used by the unrelated Blue Danube Network [de ] radio station operated by American Forces Network (AFN) and the 5th United States Army in the American-occupied zone of Austria between 1945 and 1955. From 1995, it shared airtime with FM4 , which eventually completely took over on 1 February 2000.
Favourite programmes included Continental Breakfast, Soft Sound Café, Drive Time, Today@Six, and Sunday Brunch. Many of the people who worked for BDR moved to FM4 . Notables include David Halliwell, Paul Catty, Joe Remick, John Wilde, Joanna Bostock, Jill Zobel, Ellis Hill, Paul Hollingdale , Chris Wisbey, Stuart Freeman, Dale Winton ,[1] Graham Knight , Paul Holmes, Steve Allen, John Brocks and Katya Adler . It also aired syndicated Casey Kasem 's Top 40 (American hit parade), and a short programme called Passport that encouraged the study of foreign languages.
