Berlin based alternative rock outlet Motor FM has been awarded the 97.2 MHz frequency in Bremen, according to radio website Radioszene.

Motor FM is already on-air in the German capital Berlin and in Stuttgart . The station will be the third commercial player on the Bremen market, alongside NRJ Group’s NRJ and RTL Group’s Hit-Radio Antenne.

“Motor FM fulfills all the requirements and has convinced us with its concept of linking up with Bremen’s cultural and musical scenes. The committee found that Motor FM’s varied programming will bring the most enrichment to the Bremen radio market” says Felix Holefleisch, president of Bremen’s broadcasting authority.

Motor FM was launched in 2004 on the Berlin market and the following year in Stuttgart. The station has editorial cooperation with London’s XFM and Los Angeles-based Indie 103.1.
