Radio Euskirchen – Dein Sommer Radio

Radio Euskirchen is a local radio station from the Euskirchen district in North Rhine-Westphalia. The station describes itself as “Dein Sommer Radio”. The website mainly reports on regional topics, such as police reports, news from the skilled trades and business, and events in the Eifel. News from the broadcast area can be accessed via the “Nachrichten zum Nachhören” service, and there is also a live stream.

In the pop segment, the programme “POP SECRET – Die Stories zu den Hits” stands out. In it, Steffi and Thorsten tell the background stories of well-known songs and the artists behind them. The station also relies on campaigns and competitions, such as the “Geldregen”, in which listeners can win money by listening to the radio.

The station also trains its own journalistic newcomers. The so-called Volos, i.e. trainee journalists, according to the website visited the state parliament in Düsseldorf, among other places, to learn about the workings of state politics and press work.
