Good reception, low volume
Annual North Frisian Winter Holiday broadcast in German, Frisian, and English. Interesting fact from transmission a few years ago. The broadcast frequently dwells on Frisians that migrated to New York City. The City is peppered with establishments known colloquially as "German bakeries". However, it turns out most of bake shops were founded my North Frisian ex-pats.
