Decades later Ö1 (ORF’s cultural radio station) brought the piece back on air, as Pepl's son Daniel Pepl noted on both occasions: in the music programme “Spielräume” on Monday, 11 September 2017, “Olymp” opened the music devoted to the exhibition “Ganz Wien. Eine Pop-Tour” (“All of Vienna. A Pop Tour”) at the Wien Museum, the museum of the city of Vienna; on Thursday, 20 June 2024, it framed the episode “Kleine Welten zwischen Mietshäusern” of the series “Gedanken für den Tag” (“Thoughts for the Day”).
