Arno und die Morgencrew
Arno und die Morgencrew 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. 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.
