For more than 40 years, the goal of Bayerische Lokalradio-Werbung (BLW) has been to improve the financial viability of Bavarian local radio stations and to ensure the continued existence of independent and pluralistic local radio in Bavaria.

Say goodbye to paper clutter, Excel chaos, and endless email back-and-forth: Radio Planning brings together editorial planning, topics, tasks, content, coordination, and AI features in a single interface.
Teams work with a shared data pool, clear responsibilities, and significantly less friction in their day-to-day work. This saves time, reduces sources of error, and provides greater clarity in the newsroom, planning department, and broadcast center.
Integrated AI provides support where time is truly lost in day-to-day operations: in research, summaries, market monitoring, and the creation of content for on-air, online, and social media.
Content can also be transferred directly via interfaces to broadcast systems. Radioplanung is not just another siloed system, but a work environment that brings processes together and noticeably lightens the load on teams.

Member companies reach their audiences via radio, television, streaming, social media, apps, and media libraries—and together employ more than 1,000 people. The VBL represents the interests of its members in dealings with policymakers, regulators, and market partners, and advocates for the preservation and further development of local and regional media diversity in Bavaria.
