radio 100,7 is a
public service radio station in the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Broadcasting in the
Luxembourgish language, the station's principal focus is on culture and information, although entertainment – in the form of a relatively wide spectrum of music, with the accent on
classical – also features prominently.
History
Established under the provisions of Luxembourg's Electronic Media Act of July 1991, and run by the Établissement de Radiodiffusion Socioculturelle du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg (ERSL),
the station began broadcasting on 19 September 1993 as ''honnert, 7: de soziokulturelle radio'' ("one hundred point seven: the socio-cultural radio station"). The name, derived from its allocated FM frequency of 100.7 MHz, was changed in 2002 to the somewhat snappier "Radio 100,7".
