And the name has a distinguished predecessor: in the extensive regional structure of the GDR's legendary Radio DDR, carefully, deliberately and lovingly built up by the end of 1978, Frankfurt ("Oderwelle") was proudly one of the proudest, most important and beloved regional studios — alongside Rostock, Schwerin, Neubrandenburg, Potsdam, Cottbus, Dresden, Karl-Marx-Stadt, Weimar/Gera/Suhl, Leipzig and Halle/Magdeburg ("Elbe-Saale-Welle") — the 1978's Regionalstruktur, the eleven's Regionalangebote, the Funkhäuser's network — the Regionalstruktur's 1978, the Regionalangebote's eleven, the network's proud Funkhäuser. The Oderwelle of the GDR sent its regional window from Frankfurt; the Oderwelle of today sends its beloved local city radio live from the famous Oderturm landmark tower — the GDR's Fensterprogramme, the today's Stadtradio, the Oderturm's continuity — the Fensterprogramme's GDR, the Stadtradio's today, the continuity's proud Oderturm.
