Happy 4th of July!

Although this station is from Munich, Germany, it seems entirely appropriate to use it for today's post.  The 4th of July is our country's birthday and any town worth its salt will be having a fireworks display to celebrate this all-American holiday.  Unfortunately, it turns out that "feierwerk" doesn't translate to "firework" like I thought it did.  The German word for firework is actually feuerwerk and, according to GoogleTranslate, feierwerk means "celebration factory."  Oh well, I already scanned the stickers so here they are....


Radio Feierwerk only broadcasts on weekends and shares the 92.4 FM frequency with three other stations.  Programming is aimed at those under 30 including music, art, education, politics and social issues.
