The Villa Lovigny housed the broadcast studios for the different language services as well as a TV station.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With a history that dates back to the 1920s, the radio station was an important propaganda tool during WWII and has had an immeasurable global impact on popular culture throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s, even beyond the Iron Curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radio Luxembourg has fans from all corners of the world; Europe and the former Eastern Bloc, Canada, the United States, Africa and even Australia. Hundred million listeners tuned in every night, because it was the only place where they could listen to pop music. They combined form with content and were not only a radio station but also a magazine, an event organizer and finally a transnational social media platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unprecedented international reach made Radio Luxembourg a force of enormous political relevance. By using entertainment as a form of cultural diplomacy, Radio Luxembourg shaped not only international pop culture but also European politics, history and identity. Radio broadcasting has long been the most effective and influential communication tool during the larger part of the twentieth century. As a matter of fact, radio was a synonym of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 360\u00b0 transmedia project tells the interconnected and remarkable stories of this radio station from different perspectives by involving local as well as global communities. This collective examination of Luxembourg\u2019s cult radio station surfaces a transnational and multi-faceted history of the 20th century in Europe and beyond, all broadcast from the tiny Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
