ET-Radio is Back on Air: An Exciting Offer for the Transport and Logistics Industry
ET-Radio is returning – right on time for the commercial vehicle trade fair NUFAM on September 25, 2025. After more than ten years of hiatus, the industry-specific radio station is now launching as a web offering and stream on ROCK FM. For the logistics and transport sector, this is a clear sign that it is receiving more attention than it is often given.
Prof. Dr. Dirk Engelhardt from the Federal Association of Freight Transport, Logistics and Waste Management (BGL) puts it clearly:
“It is important that the industry receives the appreciation it deserves. With the return of ET-Radio as an industry-specific station, we are doing exactly what is necessary.”
The Revival of ET-Radio
The comeback of the station is the idea of project manager Tom Nitzsche. Together with founder Andre Sahorn, who is returning with his own show, ET-Radio is set to become a strong voice for the industry – now under the ROCK FM umbrella.
The combination of large trucks, hard rock music, and a certain atmosphere fits perfectly. As ROCK FM program director Mike Doetzkies says:
“The mix of trucks, guitar riffs, and ‘Southern state flair’ attracts our listeners and fits ROCK FM perfectly.”
An April Fool’s Joke with Resonance
Before ET-Radio went on hiatus, Maik Erdmann TruckOnline , Daniela Kampschulte Danikas Blog , and I, together with Andre Sahorn, launched an April Fool’s joke around the high-visibility vest requirement for truck drivers.
The joke claimed that a high-visibility vest must be worn behind the wheel of vehicles over 2.8 tons throughout working hours – including fines and a regular replacement obligation due to fading of the vests.
The whole thing was conceived as a humorous exaggeration – and it really took off. Even traffic associations fell for it, showing how well the contribution was made and how much attention it received within the industry and beyond.
Well, some still haven’t understood today that back then it was just a joke.
Similarly, in January 2015 I had the opportunity to “harass” André in his studio 😅
