A station built around one city's mood
CityMusic is run by the local non-profit VZW Music and Info and broadcasts from Aalst on 107.8 MHz, with a second transmitter covering Haaltert on 105.8 MHz, reaching across East Flanders, the Dender area and western Flemish Brabant on DAB+ channel 10C as well. Rather than chasing a national audience, the station builds its entire identity around being unmistakably local, with shows like Feel Good met Bruno and HappyLunch with Philippe and Anja anchoring a schedule that treats the region itself as part of the format.
A city with a reputation for not taking itself too seriously
Aalst has a global reputation that goes well beyond local radio. Its annual carnival, a three-day event of satire and unrestrained mockery of politicians and public figures, was recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, then became the first entry ever removed from that list, in December 2019, after a float using antisemitic stereotypes drew international criticism. It is a city, in other words, that has never been shy about putting its own personality on full public display, and CityMusic's cheerful, community-first branding fits a place that has built its identity on exactly that kind of unfiltered local character.
Feel-good pop as a deliberate choice
Calling itself The FeelGood Station is not an accident of marketing. Where plenty of local Flemish stations chase a broad adult contemporary sound, CityMusic leans specifically into upbeat, accessible pop designed to lift a listener's mood rather than simply fill the background, a tighter, more deliberate format than a typical small-market signal usually bothers to commit to.
A genuinely local operation
CityMusic's registration as a particuliere lokale radio, a licensed private local station under Flanders' media regulator, keeps it firmly in the category of community broadcasting rather than a national network's regional outpost. That status is exactly why its programming can stay built around Aalst specifically: local presenters, local shows, and a format tuned to one city's own sense of humor.
