This radio orchestra was founded in West-Berlin in 1946. It was affiliated the American broadcasting station (Rundfunk im amerikanischen Sektor / Radio in the American Sector). In 1956 the name was changed to Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. After the German reunion the name changed again to in 1993. This was done to prevent mix-ups with the East-Berlin based Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.
