History of Hitradio Ö3

The station was launched by the ORF broadcaster on 1 October 1967 to a new numbered system, together with the traditional music station Österreich 1 and the local radios of the Ö2 group, following a 1964 national referendum against the placement of the public broadcasting service on the Austrian political Proporz system. The journalist and radio host Ernst Grissemann was commissioned to build up an entertainment station; he was supported by Frank Elstner, who had worked for Radio Luxemburg, and André Heller presenting the Musicbox avant-garde music journal. Grissemann served as programme director until 1979, known as “Mister Ö3”.
