Julia Wassilkow

Head of the newsroom, BLR

Julia Wassilkow is Head of Current Affairs at BLR in Munich - the central agency of Bavarian local radio stations for news and programme hours. Dozens of Benjamin Blümchen cassettes awakened her passion for stories and images in her head back in kindergarten. She then tasted blood for radio as a trainee at the training and further education station max neo in Nuremberg (formerly Max 91.0). After a traineeship at Energy Nuremberg, she moved to Munich as a newsreader on the Mike Thiel show on Gong 96.3. She has been one of the best-known voices at BLR and in Bavaria for almost 18 years.
