Sparprogramm.fm is an autonomous radio station. A set of python scripts collects and processes data from the web, such as news, weather forecasts and music. It later stores it as audio-files which will be played by the radio station based on Liquidsoap. It was produced by Pascal Albisser and Alex Kälin at the HTW Chur and currently runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.
