RADIO SYLVIA LIVE
FROM HAMBURG TO THE WORLD.
FOUNDED IN 1977.
We started as a pirate radio station in 1977. Since then we stand for free, alternative and non-commercial radio.
AGAINST THE MAINSTREAM.
AGAINST THE NORM.
We say NO! to the omnipresent mainstream rubbish. We focus on Punk, Metal and Alternative.
RADIO AND ROCK MUSIC.
OUR PASSIONS.
We are a team of long-time radio and music enthusiasts hailing from Germany, the UK, Ireland and the USA.
ON AIR: -
Radio Sylvia is a free, alternative and non-commercial radio station and can look back on an eventful history. After the foundation in July 1977, we were active as a pirate radio station for many years on FM as well as long, medium and shortwave - until we were silenced by the German authorities in December 1984. After that we continued our broadcasts for several years via Dutch, Scottish and Irish pirates. In January 2009 we returned legally and are now broadcasting from Hamburg via internet and shortwave.
Our complete and detailed history can be found here.
The station is run by a dedicated international team of long-time radio and music enthusiasts. Our aim has always been (and still is today) to provide an alternative to the omnipresent musical mishmash.
The next "Radiorandale" will come on the air on 1st August at 6 p.m. CET with the following programme schedule:
To mark the 100th "Harte Zeiten" show, Artschie and Tom currently present a four-hour anniversary programme on Fridays from 8 p.m. to midnight, featuring a look back at the past ten years.
