Old Latin Radio

A Berlin radio station has an unusual programming plan for Sept. 26. It will broadcast its morning show entirely in Latin.
Trailers, news and weather will be translated into Latin for the Kiss FM show, listened to by around 4.2 million people daily, to raise awareness of the tragedy of dead languages.
A highlight is supposed to be a rap song written in Latin. Didn't they used to call those Gregorian chants?
