Prominent newcomers to an ambitious radio station: a long-time Schlager presenter starts there as well as an FC Bayern legend.
Ismaning – It's a clear case from the "What does it actually do...?" TV presenter Viktor Worms led viewers through the ZDF "Hitparade" from 1985 to 1990.
And that was an integral part of the living rooms of German Schlager and pop fans.
During Worms' time, but of course also before that under the aegis of Dieter Thomas Heck.
What fewer people should know: From 1998 to 2001 he was head of entertainment at ZDF, producing "Wetten, dass...?".
For many years he stayed in the background, managing “worms mediapartner GmbH” as managing director.
Now Worms has a new moderation job.
Schlager TV legend Viktor Worms goes back to the radio - to the same station as Stephan Lehmann
As reported by various specialist radio portals such as
radiowoche.de
and
radioszene.de
, he will be leading the afternoon program (3 to 7 p.m. on weekdays) at Oldie Antenne from February 28th.
The station will also be broadcast via DAB+ in Hesse from March 1, and has been available in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hamburg and Saarland since the beginning of February.
The transmitter belongs to the "Antenna Bayern Group" and was previously called "Antenna Bayern Oldies but Goldies".

Schlager TV legend Viktor Worms is looking forward to a new task
Viktor Worms, now 62, can also look back on a long radio past, working for RTL radio and for Antenne Bayern.
“Radio is my great passion!” he enthuses.
"Finally being back at the microphone and playing songs that have accompanied me my whole life... a great feeling!
For me, Oldie Antenne has come full circle: I had my best time on the radio at Antenne Bayern.
To start something new again with old companions like Stephan Lehmann and Hakan Turan – I wanted to be part of it from the start!”
