History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2020)

The station was originally the information program of the WDR and combined entertainment and pop music on the one hand with public service information and educational mission on the other. Instead of a fully formatted program, WDR 1 offered many special interest programs, a high proportion of words and a targeted regional focus.

WDR 1 officially went on air on January 1, 1956, after the regional stations WDR and Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) had been formed from the NWDR.^[1] Until the NDR radio programs were reorganized in 1981, WDR 1 and NDR 1 broadcast a joint program that was only temporarily split into regional programs.
