WMR World Music Radio is an independent, non-political and non-religious
radio station with a cheerful mix of the best in current chart hits and the
best hits from the past. Music crosses all frontiers - and WMR is a
truly international radiostation programmed to bring people together and
share the same experiences and thus to make international understanding
just a little better.

WMR first went on the air in 1967 from the Netherlands, from where
broadcasting took place until August 1973. Later programmes from WMR
have been carried through the facilities of Radio Andorra (in 1976 and
1980), Radio Milano International (1982-1983) and Radio Dublin
(1983-1989). In 1997 WMR came back on the air from May 31st to
August 24th from a new HQ in Denmark and from powerful transmitters
in South Africa giving a truly worldwide coverage but with Africa as the
main target area.

In early 2003 preparations to re-launch WMR once again started,
and this time again from own transmitters as was the case in 1967-1973.
In August 2003 permission to use 5815 and 15810 kHz was granted by
the authorities in Denmark. A 10 kW and a 1 kW transmitter were ordered
from a company in Canada to be delivered around Christmas 2003.
New offices and a new on-air studio were completed February 2004,
and after more than 3 months of delay the short wave transmitters finally
arrived in mid April 2004. Meanwhile new aerials had been erected near
Karup in Central Jutland, Denmark, and the first test transmissions are
due late April 2004. Besides Short Wave, WMR will also be available
worldwide via the Internet and locally in Denmark on FM.
