You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sputnik''' or '''MDR Sputnik''' is a youth-oriented [[Germany|German]] [[radio station]], and is part of [[Leipzig]]-based [[public broadcaster]] [[Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk|MDR]], based in [[Halle (Saale)|Halle]]. The station, which primarily broadcasts [[Pop music|pop]] and [[Rock music|rock]] music, is the successor to the [[East Germany|East German]] youth station '''[[DT64]]''', founded in 1964 on the occasion of the ''((ill|Deutschlandtreffen der Jugend|de))''. It was given its present name on 1 May 1993, following [[German reunification]] in 1990; the new name, inspired by the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[Sputnik program|Sputnik]] [[satellite]], was the suggestion of the then [[List of ministers-president of Saxony#Free State of Saxony (1990–present)|Minister-President of Saxony]], [[Kurt Biedenkopf]].

==Broadcasting==
While DT64 was broadcast throughout East Germany, Sputnik is available on [[FM radio|FM]] only in one of the five federal states which replaced the [[East Germany|GDR]] and thus only in one of the three federal states that form [[Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk|MDR]]'s coverage area ([[Saxony Anhalt|Saxony-Anhalt]]); it is available throughout [[Europe]] via the [[SES Astra|Astra]] satellite on 19.2° east in [[DVB-S]] standard as well as on most [[Germany|German]] [[Cable television|cable networks]] on [[DVB-C]] and in the MDR area ([[Saxony]], [[Saxony Anhalt|Saxony-Anhalt]], [[Thuringia]]) on [[FM radio|FM]] and on [[Digital audio broadcasting|DAB+]].

DT64 lost all FM frequencies in the first half of 1992. In four new federal states these frequencies were given to private radio stations, in [[Berlin]] and [[Brandenburg]] a new public youth radio station ('''Rock Radio B''', later '''Fritz''') started on the frequencies DT64. DT64 had to switch to AM in summer 1992. AM transmissions lasted for one year. The station was renamed MDR Sputnik. Between 1993 and 1997 '''MDR Sputnik''' was available only via [[SES Astra|Astra]] satellite analog audio subcarriers and a special German digital Radio System DSR, receivable via cable and satellite. In 1997 [[FM radio|FM]] coverage in [[Saxony Anhalt|Saxony-Anhalt]] was increased. The station lost most of its news and spoken word content.

==Programming==
In December 2006, the station was relaunched as a high quality youth station, under new station manager Eric Markuse. English news bulletins were added between 1.30 P.M. and 6.30 P.M. Various other news content returned, as well as more diverse music, especially independent music.

In summer 2010 MDR cut its budget again: English news and most news content ceased, station manager Eric Markuse left.  Today (2014) Sputnik is a standard music station.

==Online==
Sputnik also operates an [[internet radio]] station, '''Sputnik.de''', which has channels for [[Electronic Music]], melancholic music, [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]], [[dance music|dance]], rock music, and a stream broadcasting the alternative evening programme ''Popkultt''  all day.
