laut.fm – Radio Heimatmelodie

Radio Heimatmelodie is a web radio station specializing in German-language folk music, brass band music, Oberkrainer, and traditional pop songs. Operator Robert Hirschmann from Regensburg launched the station at the end of March 2008 as a successor program to the former genre-specific station Radio Melodie, which ceased its terrestrial broadcasting on March 31, 2008.

The program runs 24 hours a day in easy-listening quality with exclusive music playback, interrupted only by advertising jingles. It targets an older audience that appreciates traditional melodies from the Alpine region and surrounding areas. The station is independent and broadcasts exclusively via the internet to the entire German-speaking world.

Radio Heimatmelodie preserves the cultural tradition of folk music without belonging to any major media group.
