New folk music radio station launches in Emmental
In Langnau im Emmental hat am Mittwoch das Radio Heimatklang den Betrieb aufgenommen. Der neue Sender widmet sich gänzlich der Volksmusik und löst das Radio Neo2 ab, welches eingestellt wird.
Radio Heimatklang will broadcast folk music for 80 percent of its broadcasting time, according to a statement from the sponsoring company. The remaining 20 percent will be devoted to programs with names such as "So spielt ds Läbe", "Früsch ab Press" and "Volkstümliches Buurezmorge". This program is broadcast on Sunday mornings and also includes a sermon. The folk music radio station is sailing under the new name Heimatklang because it suits the content better than Neo2, according to Marc Lauper, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the newly founded Heimatklang Radio.
