A fundraiser has begun for St Stephen's Cathedral Classic Radio

Transmitter Classical Radio St Stephen's Cathedral She has been running a successful, high-quality program for 25 years, and now has to get back on her financial feet because the owner has withheld subsidies to cover costs. In addition to our existing successful advertising partnerships, we now also need the support of our loyal listeners and friends of radio. Therefore, the station is launching a fundraising campaign so that it can continue to maintain the high standard of the program.

“Radio klassik Stephansdom is one of the first private radio stations in Austria to offer its audience a wide-ranging, carefully selected and high-quality music and information program (from classical music to art and culture as well as spirituality), for which the station has already received numerous awards and prizes. The slogan “Soul Oasis” is the central theme, giving listeners a positive and enjoyable change in the hectic daily environment.“So that we can continue to maintain this high standard, we ask our listeners for financial support,” says Roman Gerner, managing director of the popular classical music station.

“…Now I will participate.”

The campaign is wide-ranging, starting from 24 January 2024 and will be promoted throughout the year through media partnerships and on-air on the programme. Loyal listeners of klassik Stephansdom Radio are asked to donate €1 per day per year (a total of €365 per year) in order to lead the radio to a secure financial future. Topics are supported by notable testimonials from the business and cultural sectors.

Under the slogan “… Now I'm participating”, among others, opera singer Chen Reis, Kammersanger Clemens Unterreiner, member of the Board of Directors of Vienna Airport Dr. Günter Aufner, opera singer Günter Großböck, actor Cornelius Oponia and many others can be seen and heard.

High software quality as USP

“Due to the high quality we offer, we are in the fortunate position of being able to enter into many successful advertising partnerships, which help us cover a significant portion of the costs. However, it is not enough to break even. Therefore, our fundraising campaign aims to specifically target listeners and friends and ask for their support in the form of donations. Because obviously it's about the current quality
“We want to be able to continue to present our program with words and music in a reliable and professional way,” Gerner explains.

Interested parties can donate via bank transfer, required payment voucher, or online.
