Studio Franken

Studio Franken is a regional broadcasting facility in Nuremberg with a 108-meter transmission tower that distributes radio and television signals across Franconia. The station produces local programming and operates as part of Bavarian Radio.

Broadcasting operations at this location started in 1924 as a relay station for Munich radio before becoming an independent studio shortly after. The facility has developed over decades into a major production center for the region.

Studio Franken produces regional programs including Frankenschau and Heimatspiegel, reflecting the cultural identity of the Franconian region through media content.

The facility is located within Nuremberg and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that this is an active broadcasting station where tours may be limited or require advance arrangement.

The station has operated a specialized digital radio program around the clock since 2015. This makes it a notable example among regional broadcasting facilities that maintain such continuous programming.
