openbroadcastopenbroadcast is an online community radio station created by users who generate all the radio content and are responsible for the editorial content. The station based in Zurich, Switzerland has three DAB+ transmitters plus an internet radio presence with a CD Quality Lossless FLAC stream and 4 MP3 streams ranging from 48kbps to 3320kbps.

To facilitate users to be able to produce their own programmes the station has created its own platform – openbroadcast.org – and currently there are 6 ‘child’ stations which are using this. The current version of the platform is initially designed for the production of music tracks. It contains a music archive, a playlist editor for compiling the individual radio reports and a scheduler as a planning and editing tool. In the future, open broadcast intends to make the platform available to other media providers free of charge as well, thus building an online community for scientific, cultural and media actors.

The main station programming contains an eclectic mix of traditional and urban culture and full details of their daily programmes can be found here. Their website contains a webplayer, links to social media and a history of how the organisation came into being.
