Schifter's Schellacks

Music Hall was broadcast on Ö3 from 1967 onwards, with Schifter presenting the format he had himself conceived. It proved a great success over many years, and had a loyal audience that appreciated the weekly show, with its combi­nation of 78s from Schifter's impressive collection and his “News from those days” history lessons.

These radio programmes reflected Schifter's deep knowl­edge and exacting at­ten­tion to detail, and featured a host of musical treasures from the jazz and swing era. He provided comprehensive details for every track he played, which made his broadcasts a great resource for 78s collectors as well as lively, entertaining history lessons.

In the 1980s, the programme was syndicated on Austrian state broad­caster ORF's local radio stations, under the same title and staying true to the tried-and-tested concept Schifter had established. Later on, ORF embarked on an overhaul its radio programming. These changes took Ö3 in a more commercial direction and heralded the end of Schifters Schellacks, first on Ö3 itself, and then on local radio stations. It was broadcast for the last time in 2000. For a while, Schifter's enthusi­astic listenership could find him across the border in Bavaria where he presented Schellack Souvenirs on Bayrischer Rund­funk until he finally called time on his decades-long radio career in 2003.
