Megaradio, which was also receivable in the whole of [[Europe]] at night-time, had no commercial success and so Megaradio was shut down on April 4, 2003 at 1 AM. Since then all transmitters used by Megaradio (except the [[Marnach transmitter]] up until the end of 2015) have been unused.

Megaradio was a German-speaking, privately owned radio station that began broadcasting in 1997. It operated on various medium-wave frequencies in Germany and Luxembourg, primarily from transmission sites such as the Marnach transmitter in Luxembourg. The station aired German-language pop music programs.

Megaradio had the potential to reach a wide audience, particularly across Europe at night, due to the strength of its transmitters. However, despite this expansive coverage, the station faced commercial challenges and was ultimately discontinued on April 4, 2003, at 1 AM. After its closure, most of the transmission facilities used by Megaradio, including those in Germany, were decommissioned, though the Marnach transmitter continued to operate until the end of 2015.[1][2][3]
