Radio Mars

Radio Mars, based in Frederiksværk, Denmark, is an independent, listener-funded station operated by Alex Nyborg Madsen and Søren Rebbe, broadcasting on DAB+ and online. Launched on May 1, 2024, it offers a diverse mix of rock, pop, folk, country, and Americana, emphasizing lesser-known artists and avoiding mainstream chart hits. Programs like "Madsen På Mars" and "Rebbe På Mars" feature curated playlists and stories from music history, while "Recycler" explores cover versions.

Founded by former DR hosts, Radio Mars emerged from a desire to break free from formatted radio, prioritizing music quality over genre or popularity. It gained traction through a 2024 crowdfunding campaign, raising 400,000 DKK for DAB expansion. Ad-free and supported by its Klub Mars members, the station’s slogan, "Mere af det, de andre ikke spiller", reflects its commitment to delivering fresh, meaningful music to curious listeners.
