Aargau youth radio on air for the last time

The Aargau youth radio project "Power FM" will go back on the air next Saturday for a month—probably for the last time.


The Aargau youth radio project "Power FM" will go back on air next Saturday for a month - probably for the last time. The radio station produces a majority youth program and has been on air three times since 2001. However, its future is uncertain.
September 2 will probably be the last time the radio station will be launched in its current form. This is because a complaint to the Federal Office of Communications demands that the radio is no longer licensed.

Mario Gutknecht, initiator and director of "Power FM", did not want to tell SDA who had filed the complaint. A 24-hour program is planned, Gutknecht said. More than ten young creators work for the radio station on a voluntary basis. News would be broadcast every hour in the daytime program. Special programs are scheduled for the evenings.

During the broadcasting period in September 2005, radio "Power FM" had an average of
33,600 listeners reached per day, on peak days
96,000 listeners. The figures were determined by Radiocontrol.
