Licensed in May 2023 by the assembly of the Niedersächsische Landesmedienanstalt (NLM), the channel was originally planned under the name "Oldiewelle Niedersachsen" before being renamed Nordseewelle 2 — possibly to avoid confusion with the Oldie Antenne, which was also launching on DAB+ in Lower Saxony — the Mai 2023's Zulassung, the Oldiewelle Niedersachsen's working title, the Nordseewelle 2's brand — the Zulassung's May 2023, the title's Oldiewelle, the brand's 2.

History

On 24 September 2013 the Niedersächsische Landesmedienanstalt published a notice tendering free FM transmission frequencies in the East Frisian islands/coastal strip region for a commercial local radio in Ostfriesland — the 24 September 2013's Bekanntmachung, the freien UKW-Übertragungsfrequenzen's tender, the Ostfriesische Inseln's coast — the Bekanntmachung's September 2013, the tender's frequencies, the coast's strip. Two applications arrived: from the Radio Nordseewelle GmbH & Co KG and from the Radio SWS Sturmwellensender GmbH, which already operated an event radio on the island of Norderney — the zwei Bewerbungen's pair, the Sturmwellensender's Norderney, the Veranstaltungsradio's island — the pair's only two, the Norderney's SWS, the island's events. On 18 December 2013 the local FM frequencies were awarded to Radio Nordseewelle — the 18 December 2013's zugesprochen, the lokalen UKW-Frequenzen's award, the Nordseewelle's victory — the zugesprochen's December 2013, the award's frequencies, the victory's Nordseewelle. On 21 September 2016 the station received its second coverage area Wilhelmshaven/Jever/Friesland; on 29 November 2017 the third area Aurich/Emden/Leer; the fourth area for the Oldenburg region was assigned on 10 September 2020 — the zweite's Wilhelmshaven, the dritte's Aurich, the vierte's Oldenburg — the zweite's 2016, the dritte's 2017, the vierte's 2020 — the areas' growth.

In May 2023 the NLM assembly licensed the new specialty programme "Nordseewelle 2" of the Radio Nordseewelle GmbH & Co. KG — originally planned as "Oldiewelle Niedersachsen", then renamed to Nordseewelle 2 (the NLM's June 2023 press release noted the name change; the reason is not publicly confirmed) — the Mai 2023's Zulassung, the Oldiewelle's working title, the renaming's mystery — the Zulassung's May 2023, the title's Niedersachsen, the mystery's reason. The musical focus of the planned 24-hour programme: rock and pop music of the past 20 to 45 years, distributed via DAB+ and the internet — the Schwerpunkt's rock and pop, the 20-to-45's years, the DAB+'s and Internet's pair — the rock's Schwerpunkt, the years' 20-to-45, the pair's dual distribution.

Programming

The programme is the classics: a musical journey back to the time of the rock, pop and disco classics of the 70s, 80s and 90s — unforgettable songs that have survived time — the Klassiker's time, the Reise's music, the survival's songs — the time's timeless classics, the music's journey, the songs' survival. The 24-hour programme targets the northwest of Lower Saxony: the region that the parent station has served since 2015 — the Nordwesten's Niedersachsen, the region's coast, the 2015's service — the Nordwesten's northwest, the coast's proud East Frisia, the service's years. The welcome message: turn it on now — the "jetzt einschalten"'s call, the welcome's warmth, the now's radio — the call's immediate now, the warmth's welcome, the radio's classics.
