KiRaKa

KiRaKa – the name is an acronym formed from KInderRAdioKAnal – was a digital radio channel produced by Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne, Germany.

From 1 January 2016 until 30 November 2019 KiRaKa has broadcast 24 hours a day via cable, satellite, and DAB in Germany, as well as worldwide on the Internet.

Outside these hours KiRaKa played music aimed at the 11-to-16 age group in a segment called Nachteule (Night Owl).

Today, the service is available across Germany via the Astra satellite network, cable TV and DAB radio.

It culminated in a live concert hosted by one German and one Turkish presenter, during which a variety of Eastern and Western music, as well as a fusion of the two, was played.
