Radio Leverkusen – Dein Schlager Radio

Radio Leverkusen carries the tagline „Dein Schlager Radio“ and thus places the genre clearly at the centre. The name refers to the city of Leverkusen in the Rhineland as a connection to its home, without any information about the broadcast area or reach being derived from it.

Schlager thrives on catchy melodies, emotional refrains and lyrics about love, longing, farewell and homesickness. Typical are sing-along songs that alternate between sentimental ballads and danceable, sway-along rhythms, often with German-language voices that deliver the feelings directly and without pretence.

For a Schlager format, this means above all music to sing along to, remember with and feel with. Anyone who likes this genre will find here the sound that the programme is geared towards.
