laut.fm – zombiecity

Under the umbrella of the laut.fm platform, the station zombiecity operates a digital niche that has consistently dedicated itself to a post-apocalyptic theme. Unlike traditional FM programmes, there is no regional reporting here; broadcasting takes place exclusively via the internet. The musical spectrum focuses primarily on current pop productions and catchy tracks that underline a bleak, melancholic or dystopian atmosphere. The editorial design is entirely geared towards the fictional scenario of a fallen civilisation and casts the listener as a survivor in a hostile world.

The programme structure of zombiecity dispenses with conventional spoken contributions or traffic reports. Instead, the station relies on a carefully selected music choice which, through thematically suitable jingles and atmospheric soundscapes, supports the narrative framework. The target audience is not offered a conventional presentation style but a sound backdrop tailored to the concept. The station is operated by the automated system of laut.fm, which allows users to run their own web radio stations without the costs of a regular broadcasting licence, provided that GEMA fees are covered by the platform operator.
