Platforms send greetings around the world
to all ships at sea

German broadcast infrastructure supplier Media Broadcast is assisting a very long tradition. The annual Christmas Eve Gruss an Bord (Greetings on board) program will be broadcast via just about every platform, including shortwave, noted German radio news portal Radiowoche (December 13). Originally meant for seafarers, it can be heard between 19:00 and 22:00 (CET) on December 24th.

Since 1953 Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) has been sending out short messages from family and friends to those, perhaps, unable to hear the greetings. Media Broadcast will use its shortwave facility near Berlin for two frequencies. Also used for the shortwave broadcast are the Télédiffusion de France (TDF) site near Issoudun, France, the Österreichischen Rundfunksender (ORS) site near Moosbrunn, Austria, the Uzbek state transmitter operator RRTDK site near Tashkent, Uzbekistan and the Radio Miami International site in Okeechobee, Florida, US.

The BBC World Service broadcasts the Queens Christmas message on shortwave and every other BBC platform on Christmas Day. Vatican Radio will broadcast the Christmas message from Pope Francis on shortwave.

The Six Radio Brands is about the uniquely European development of radio brands. Competition among broadcasters - and certainly between the public and commercial sectors - gives radio in Europe a rich dynamic. As consumers become more media-literate and demand more attachment broadcasters find target markets illusive.
Regulators, advertisers and broadcasters take turns trying to influence radio brands. Culture and technology makes an impact. More and more, the greatest influence comes from consumers.
The Six Radio Brands describes advantages and pit-falls of brand strategies, with illustrations from current radio practice.
