Munich (dpa / lby) - radio is 100 years old in Germany - the broadcaster Bayern 1 is celebrating this with a retro broadcast.

"For an hour the program will sound as if it had been set back 100 years with a time machine: music, moderation, topics of conversation - everything in the style of the early 1920s," explained a spokeswoman in Munich.

According to BR, the special program runs on Tuesday, the anniversary day, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.

"Then Marcus Fahn becomes an old-school emcee, the radio news crackles out of the loudspeaker and there is music in the guise of the 1920s."

The whole thing is "an homage to broadcasting and radio".

A string quintet from the Munich Radio Orchestra will play Christmas carols.

The program can be listened to for seven days at bayern1.de.

On December 22, 1920, post officials gave a Christmas concert on the Funkerberg in Königs Wusterhausen, southeast of Berlin, and it was broadcast live on the local station.

The broadcast is considered the birth of broadcasting in Germany.
