Hannover Radio Station

Hanover is home to several radio stations offering a diverse range of programming. The editorial office of NDR 1 Niedersachsen is located in the Lower Saxony regional broadcasting center of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) on Lake Maschsee. With its high proportion of spoken content, the station has been a leader among the state’s radio stations for many years. The editorial team is responsible for providing up-to-date news from Lower Saxony, covering the city and region of Hannover as well as the districts of Celle, Nienburg, Schaumburg, Hameln-Pyrmont, and Hildesheim. 

The programming of the private radio station Radio ffn, which is produced at its headquarters in Hannover and in several regional studios, combines quality entertainment with humorous comedy and reliable news. The station’s sound features contemporary pop music mixed with the best songs from the ’80s and ’90s. ffn is also active online. In addition to social media accounts on all major platforms, the station operates its own music streams covering a variety of genres.

For more than 30 years, Antenne Niedersachsen has been broadcasting from Hanover to the entire state and is one of Germany’s leading private media brands. The people of Lower Saxony and the issues that matter to them are always at the heart of the station’s service, information, and entertainment offerings. In addition to its traditional radio programming on FM and DAB+, the station distributes its content via the website antenne.com, social media channels, internet radio, and podcasts. 

RADIO 21 broadcasts a rock-oriented music format and local news from its headquarters in Garbsen. The station is part of the German City Network, whose programming—along with that of its partner stations Rockland Radio and Antenne Sylt—is broadcast in over 30 metropolitan areas in northern Germany, as well as in Rhineland-Palatinate and parts of Hesse and Baden-Württemberg. 

Radio Hannover broadcasts around the clock from its downtown studios. Every half hour, listeners hear the latest news from the city, supplemented hourly by national and international news. The station also features a music lineup of classics from the past 40 years and current hits.
