Hamburger Lokalradio set for two December broadcast

Germany
For almost ten years, Hamburger Lokalradio (HLR) offers international shows for listeners living outside their Hamburg FM 96,0 MHz reach. The station rents airtime from Media Broadcast for programmes on 6045 kHz (first Sunday of each month, between 10-11 UTC), and from WRN for weekly shows on the WRN Deutsch channel.

Since December 2009, HLR can be heard daily from 10-11 UTC on 5980, with 1 kW, using the Kall transmitter site. To commemorate one year of low-power short wave programmes, Hamburger Lokalradio will air two multi-hour shows. They can be heard on Su, Dec 05, and Su, Dec 26, from 06-16 UTC, on 5980. Most of the programmes will feature highlights from the HLR archives. In addition, there are programmes in English, Spanish, and Swedish. Here are some excerpts from the line-up:
