Photos from the Opening Event of the New Radio Station "Antenne
Kaiserslautern", May 31, 2008

Do
you like radio? A new radio station opened today in Kaiserslautern, Germany. It's
appropriately titled "Antenne
Kaiserslautern". Since today, 12:00, they're officially on air (UKW/FM 96.9
Mhz).
They're playing mostly mainstream music and also some nice songs
from the 80s. Their news broadcasts focus on events in and around the town the
station is located in. That's their concept for all of their stations...and more
of them will open soon.
Eike
Knall is one of the radio hosts, Stefan
Blaufelder is director of programming and Stephan Schwenk is CEO. The company
is part of THE RADIO GROUP.
One member of the band DODS
("Die Onanie des Schicksals" - "The Onanism of Fate"), which was playing the first
song at the event (on a balcony facing the people watching from down there on
the city streets), turned out to be a former class mate of mine, Dane. Nice to
have met him again. Wish you lots of fun and success with your band, Dane!
I'm not involved in THE RADIO GROUP or in the promotion of its companies.
Just got invited to the opening and thought it would be a nice idea to share some
of the photos I shot there. Quite fitting for an artist's website, since there
were - naturally - many artists and other creative people around, not all of them
being radio hosts/managers, singers and musicians but also actors, TV-hosts, and
of course photographers, journalists, etc.
Oh...and if you happen to
wonder about the last two shots: meet Sparky, everybody! Apparently there was
some kind of "police officers, firefighters and their cars" exhibition going on
throughout the city (some policemen from different nations were at the radio station
opening, as well) and when I came across these guys on my way home, I couldn't
resist to take a picture.
The elder gentleman promptly asked: "Would you like
me to shoot a photo of you with Sparky"? LOL Yes, folks, I met Sparky
the Fire Dog and I got proof!
Hope you enjoy the photos! :-) (Below
