In the summer of 2023 the Dutch government auctioned a number of large FM frequency packages to commercial radio stations for anther 12 years, creating possible big changes in the radio playing field. Next to DAB+ and online, FM contributes to 35% of radio consumption* (*July 2023).  Here's the FM related pre TOTH's, promo's and imaging that aired from July to September to make listeners aware of the new situation.

Donau 3 FM takes Chicago inspiration from ReelWorld

Chicago may be famous for being the home of Soul music, but it also does well when it comes to making great radio.

And it’s Chicago that Ulm based broadcaster, Donau 3 FM, has looked toward for their new ReelWorld jingle package. The station has launched a new sound, direct from the iconic Chicago radio station, 93.9 Lite FM.

Produced by ReelWorld, the world’s leading jingle and imaging provider, ReelWorld ONE AC was re-sung with German vocalists and re-worked to include the Baden-Württemberg broadcaster’s existing sonic logo.

Robin Schuster is Programme Director at Donau 3 FM: "I met Paul Fernley from ReelWorld at the Lokalrundfunktage in Nuremberg. Since then our contact has been very pleasant and extremely professional. Our new radio imaging package sounds so good on the air and the production is top notch! It's not just the sound production, but also the team's creativity that stands out as the best you can get. We'll definitely come back to ReelWorld in the future. Thanks to Paul and his team our station now sounds HUGE!"

The station joins a host of others across Germany airing ReelWorld jingles including 104.6 RTL Berlin, bigFM in Stuttgart and 95.5 Charivari Munich. Later this summer, the company launches a new custom package on Bayern 3 in Bavaria.

ReelWorld’s Paul Fernley works with radio stations across Germany - "It’s been a pleasure to partner with Robin and the team at Donau 3 FM over the last few months in producing this package. The end product is a powerful sound that jumps out of the speakers."

ReelWorld’s European HQ is at MediaCityUK near Manchester. Visit www.reelworld.com for more information about how ReelWorld jingles and radio imaging solutions could redefine the sound of your station. Even better, drop by in person!

Donau 3 FM ReelWorld Jingles 2023

THE CITY SHRINKS is a ska-indie breakup album told by a younger quantum me who thinks he can fix feelings with logic, plans, or a good Tesco meal deal. He can’t — and that’s the joke and the tragedy.

Across twelve jangly, frantic, hyper-real London tracks, he stumbles through pubs, night buses, parks, Shoreditch pavements, and the kind of conversations where one person asks to be heard while the other proudly offers solutions. His mates try to help, the city keeps getting smaller, and every shortcut to healing turns into another reminder that he can’t out-think heartbreak.

The guitars are scrappy and warm, the drums punchy, the vocals half-spoken, half-broken, and the songs bounce with the kind of upbeat melancholy you only get when you’re not okay but pretending hard enough to dance anyway.

It’s funny until it hurts.
It’s sad until it laughs.
It’s the sound of a city closing in and a heart finally learning to breathe.
