Power from the Eastside!

From special studio to social radio. Established in 1964 for the Germany meeting of the Free German Youth, the East German youth radio DT64 initially developed as a youth studio and, from 1986, as an independent broadcaster became the most important voice of the subculture-interested youth in East Germany. The station survived the GDR and even the planned shutdown in 1991, for which an extremely dedicated audience fought - initially achieving some success, but ultimately failing. Under the impression of this drama, various insiders and outsiders described the essential chapters of DT64's history in "DT64 - The Book on Youth Radio 1964-1993," published by former DT64 journalists Jörg Wagner and Andreas Ulrich. The book quickly sold out and is now being made accessible again on the occasion of 60 years of DT64. "Power from the Eastside," which quotes a jingle that became a battle slogan, is a new edition that continues the original book's content and adds further illustrations and materials.
