Radio 1 gets going

 Roger Schawinski's station Radio 1 will start broadcasting on Monday at 10 am. Radio Tropic, which has been broadcasting on the 93.0 Mhz frequency for twelve years, will cease broadcasting on this date. For the next two months, Radio 1 will initially only broadcast a test program under the title "Soundcheck". After completion of the new studios in Zurich, the station will officially launch on March 17. The Radio 1 team wants to create a program aimed at adults. Roger Schawinski comments on the launch: "It is a moving moment for me to launch another completely innovative radio project almost thirty years after the launch of Radio 24 from Pizzo Groppera." His new station is the first private radio station in Switzerland for a target group of 30 to 60-year-olds. In contrast to other population groups, this age group has so far
"grossly underserved by radio".
