The first broadcast by Bremen Vier was on 1 December 1986 at 9:05 AM. The first song was "Pop Muzik" by M, and the first host was Jürgen Büsselberg.

In December 2007 the company moved to a new radio station. The last track played was again "Pop Muzik", and the last host was Axel P. Sommerfeld.

Hansawelle programming was broadcast in the mornings before 9 AM until April 1989, when the station's first morning show, Slip, began. From 1999 until 2008 the morning show was Der Dicke und der Dünne (The Fat and the Lean), hosted alternately by Krause and Marcus Rudolph. A new morning show began in January 2009, with Roland Kanwicher and Olaf Rathje, alternating with Jens-Uwe Krause and Tina Padberg.
