1939

At noon on 1 September Radio Luxembourg announced that in order for the country to remain unambiguously neutral it would cease broadcasting. Exceptions were a daily 20 minute-long message at midday and in the evening reserved for government announcements.

Later that month, several German stations posed as Radio Luxembourg by broadcasting in the Luxembourgish wavelength, making pro Nazi announcements.

On the evening of 21 September, the Grand Ducal government suspended all broadcasts pending the resolution of the war.
