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 â 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 âÂÂbest-ofâ show from 8:00 â 10:00 in the morning. 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, until her retirement on June 22, 2023. Since then, Julia Porath, who had been her deputy since 2019, has been the permanent co-presenter.
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 âÂÂSmash Your Bathroomâ or âÂÂEx or MarriageâÂÂ.
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.
