Antenne Düsseldorf – Dein Oldie Radio

Antenne Düsseldorf clearly positions itself as a station for older music with the tagline „Dein Oldie Radio“ (“Your Oldies Radio”). The station is aimed at listeners in and around the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital who enjoy hearing songs from past decades again. At the heart of the programme are oldies, that is, pieces that mainly date from the 1950s to the 1970s and are still familiar to many people from their childhood and youth.

Typical of the genre are catchy melodies, clear choruses and arrangements that differ markedly from today’s radio sound: rock ‘n’ roll classics, early beat numbers, soul tracks with horns and gentle ballads from that era. It is precisely this mix that gives the format its appeal, as it can awaken memories without listeners having to keep a particular decade in mind at all times.
