About the Book
In October 1923, the first official German radio programme went on the air. Constantly affected by political, social and technical developments, it has been able to prove its adaptability and relevance time and again. This book sheds light on the various facets of German radio history and at the same time ventures a look into the future of this medium that is as persistent as it is versatile. This publication was produced in cooperation with the German Broadcasting Archives (DRA).
