Arno und die Morgencrew (English: Arno and the Morning Crew) is the morning show of the Berlin radio station 104.6 RTL. It broadcasts weekdays from 5:00 – 10:00 in the morning, and is simulcast on the national station RTL Radio between 6:00 - 10:00. Each Saturday on both stations, a summary of the week follows in a “best-of” show from 8:00 – 10:00 in the morning. [1] The host of the show is Arno Müller, who is also the director of programming of 104.6 RTL. His co-host had been Katja Desens since 1995[2], until her retirement on June 22, 2023. Since then, Julia Porath, who had been her deputy since 2013, has been the permanent co-presenter.

History

Arno und die Morgencrew is a morning show in the same vein as American morning radio shows, with a lot of comedy and multiple hosts, sidekicks, traffic pilots, sweepstakes, listener participation, as well as promotions, like “Smash Your Bathroom” or “Ex or Marriage”.[2]

Within nine months, the show became the leader in listeners in the Berlin market according to the German Media-Analyse, and pointed the way for the German radio scene. Arno und die Morgencrew is one of the most copied shows in Germany.[3]

Once a year, Arno und die Morgencrew broadcasts from Majorca. Other overseas broadcasts were made from Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Greece, Dubai, Turkey, and Thailand.[1]
