CCTV Radio will launch in Berlin next month.

Founded by the Simon Kaiser of TRADE Berlin, the internet radio station - which will also be streamed on Facebook and YouTube - will begin broadcasting on 1st April.

"[We are] a new open-minded radio station in Berlin, broadcasting Berlin’s (and beyond) diverse musical landscape online," CCTV Radio said in a Facebook post. "Regular radio hosts also give regular workshops in the community space.

"These workshops range from music production and DJ workshops, over screenprinting workshops for merchandise and to how to get a visa as a musician in Berlin. This project is the cornerstone for a future development plan for social and cultural projects, ateliers, music studios and community spaces to connect them all."

Based in a new community hub on Alte Münz, the station is on the look-out for new mixes and hosts. Get involved here.

This news is welcome, given that Berlin Community Radio revealed in January that it would stop broadcasting in February

New independent stations have also recently launched in London – Threads Radio, Foundation F.M – and Mexico City – Aire Libre.
