Description
A one-man themed tango station in Copenhagen, run by Piotr Hajkowski, who is the copyright holder on its own site and the only name in the operator field on its hosting platform. In his own words the station plays "Traditional tangos for listening and dancing" and, at greater length, "The radio plays traditional Argentine tango music with occasional additions of modern tango orchestras. The music arrangement varies depending on the schedule, for listening — during the day, and for dancing — in the evenings." Its own site is four pages: a player, a weekly schedule, an about anchor and a currently-playing page.

Artists
From its own stream log, the orchestras and singers it actually played in one sitting: Pedro Laurenz, Pedro Laurenz con Alberto Del Campo, Rodolfo Biagi con Jorge Ortiz, Juan D'Arienzo con Alberto Echagüe, Juan D'Arienzo con Héctor Mauré, and Miguel Caló con Raúl Berón. Albums it draws from include "Grandes del tango 26", "Imprescindibles", "Corrientes y Esmeralda (1944-1949)", "El Rey del Compás (1941-1943)" and "Al compás del corazón".

Contact route
A contact-the-station form on its hosting platform and a Facebook page, both linked from the operator's own station listing. There is no contact page, no form, no email address, no telephone number and no request line on tangocopenhagen.radio itself: its four-item menu is Home, Weekly Schedule, About and Currently Playing, and none of them is a contact route. The operator is nonetheless named, which is more than most stations of this size manage.

Era
The golden age of Argentine tango, the 1930s and 1940s. Its own stream log carries the release year against every track, and the sitting I read ran 1937, 1941, 1941, 1942, 1942 and 1944, with its own description adding occasional modern tango orchestras on top.

Music
Tango. The operator's own genre tags are Tango, Latin and Dance, and his own stream log classifies individual tracks as Tango, Vals and Milonga, the three dance forms of the genre.

Language
There is no spoken presentation at all. The only voice on the stream is a four-second station jingle titled "Copenhagen Tango Radio", credited on its own stream log to "Markus". The site is written in English and the sung repertoire is Spanish-language Argentine tango. I have not proposed changing the stored language code, because the honest answer is that nothing is spoken on air and any code is a choice between the site's language and the records' language.

Kind
Automated playout, and the schedule proves it. The station's own schedule is two shuffled playlists, identical on all seven days, one 64,190 seconds long and one 68,977 seconds long, switching at 06:00 and 18:00. The only editorial act is the day and evening split the operator describes, listening music by day and dancing music in the evening.

Worth knowing
The day and evening split is not decoration. Tango for dancing has to be sequenced for the floor, and this operator has built a station whose entire structure is one editorial decision, listening repertoire by day and dance repertoire by night, executed by two shuffled playlists and nothing else.

On air
none. Piotr Hajkowski is named as the operator and programmer, on his own site's copyright line and in his hosting platform's operator field, but nobody presents and no voice speaks.

Programmes
none in the sense of named shows. What its schedule actually contains is two playlists that alternate the same way every day of the week: DayPlaylist from 06:00 to 18:00 and NightPlaylist from 18:00 to 06:00, both shuffled. That is the whole of the "Weekly Schedule" page.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| a canonical station name | its own site titles itself "Tango Radio Copenhagen" with the tagline "Tangos for listening and dancing", its currently-playing page heads itself "Currently playing on Tango Copenhagen Radio", its hosting platform lists it as "Tango Copenhagen", its Facebook link is built on "tangoradiocopenhagen" and its own jingle is titled "Copenhagen Tango Radio". Five surfaces the operator controls give four different orderings of the same three words, so I have proposed no title change and left the stored name, which matches one of his own usages.
source |
| presenter or DJ names beyond the operator | the platform's operator field names Piotr Hajkowski and nothing else, and the "Markus" credited on the jingle is the jingle's producer, not a presenter, so I have not promoted him to one.
source |
| a listener figure | the operator's own platform exposes a listener endpoint but publishes no number on any page he controls.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
