Joe Lage Landen agrees with plans to focus on digitizing channels. “We’ve had digital channels like Joe Easy, Joe 80, Joe 60 and 70’s for a few years now,” says Vissenaekens. “As an FM station, Joe is the big driver to launch all these digital channels and from there we’ve been referring to our DAB+ for a long time. But now is the time to take a big step forward.” But there is no intention of competing with Joe or Qmusic, the channel manager asserts. “We see that we’re reaching a separate audience with these digital projects. That’s up to 100,000 listeners who would rather listen to a certain type of music than what’s available to them right now. And that’s a pretty big audience, for that.”

thousand songs

The guidelines for Joe Lage Landin are clear, according to Vicinakens. “Lots of music and small talk. We just cut out the news and the weather,” he promises. “We also consciously go for big hits, starting with a playlist of about a thousand songs. Of course there are tens of thousands of Dutch songs, but we want to focus on getting to know them. Whether it’s Hans de Puig, Nils Destadsbadr or Bazart: you should be able to sing along with each song, so to speak, although we will also work to augment young talent.”

Well-known DJs sometimes start

The first two weeks of Joe Lage Landen will be very special, because every day between 10am and 6pm a Dutch or Flemish speaking artist takes over the digital radio station. Gasgey, Odo, Marco Borsato, Bart Peters, Raymond van Hyt Groeneaud, Willie Somers, and Clouseau are already there. They play their favorite recordings in Dutch and share stories with the listeners.

Joe Lage Landen can be listened to from June 14 via the joe.be app, the Joe app, and via DAB+.
