The founding phase of Radio Orange goes back to the early 1990s and the then founded "Association for the promotion and support of free local non-commercial radio projects" (abbreviated: Verein Freies Radio Wien). At that time, from the late 1980s, there was a busy pirate radio scene in Vienna and other places in Austria . The originated because at that time still the ORF had the monopoly for the radio in Austria .
