Radio Centraal (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Radio Centraal is a Belgian "underground" radio station in the old city center of Antwerp. It began broadcasting on 31 October 1980 as one of the first pirate radio stations which started around the country in protest against the broadcasting monopoly of the national state networks. It always was and still remains an independent radio project with many experimental programmes and niche music. The station is structured as a non-for-profit organisation. The contributors are all volunteers and all the on-air talent finance the investment and cover the running costs of the project. In this way, Radio Centraal can stay independent from local government or commercial sponsors. Most programming is in Dutch, but there are many programmes in English and other languages.The station offers a starting platform for aspiring, ambitious and creative radio broadcasters, who are given licence to experiment in sound, editorial, music, reportage and language. Several have gone on to careers in the Belgian national media. Original founder members such as and now work at VRT television as international correspondents. Since the studio is located close to the Steen on the river front boulevard, Radio Centraal can be said to have its fingers on the pulse of a living city. It has organised and supported many inner city cultural activities, parties and "art" radio projects over the years. (en)
Radio Centraal vzw is een Antwerps lokaal, niet-commercieel, vrij radiostation. Het begon uit te zenden op 31 oktober 1980. Momenteel zendt Radio Centraal uit op 106.7 FM. De studio's zijn gelegen in de oude binnenstad vlak bij de Antwerpse Grote Markt en Het Steen. Buiten het eigen zendgebied is de radio ook via de website streaming te beluisteren. De zender zendt geen reclame uit, en drijft in plaats daarvan op maandelijkse solidariteitsbijdragen van de zowat 150 vrijwillige medewerkers-programmamakers. In de programmatie krijgt specifiek alles een kans wat elders niet aan bod komt. Daardoor zijn veel programma's hoog-gespecialiseerd in bijvoorbeeld één bepaald muziek-genre. Ook poëzie, film, satire, cultuur en de actualiteit komen aan bod. (nl)
