DRS 3 is the dominant pop and information station in German-speaking Switzerland. It reaches some 1,040,000 listeners every day, making it Switzerland's biggest medium for pop and rock music. DRS 3 is the market leader in the pop radio segment with 13% audience share and 24% reach in German-speaking Switzerland. It is aimed at the 25-45 age group. The DRS 3 motto, "music is information", ensures daily news on the latest in pop and rock music, as well as features on its history.

Founded in 1982, Couleur 3 has become a beacon in the Swiss and broader French-speaking audiovisual landscape. It positions itself as a specialist – yet accessible – music station with a good-humoured presentation style. In addition, it goes out of its way to address current social issues.

In musical terms, Couleur 3 aims to build on a broad base of pop and rock to cover all types of music. Its schedule features such specialist, genre-based programmes such as "Downtown Boogie", "Republic Kalakuta", "Krakoukass", "La Planète Bleue", “Série Z”, "Les Métissages" and "Rockspotting". Music makes up a remarkable 78% of the station's content, with Swiss artists accounting for more than 20% of this.

Couleur 3 upholds public service values more than ever before by remaining in tune with the modern world and on the same wavelength as its young listeners. It instigates debate on important social issues and casts a critical eye over the news, through programmes such as "Tout le monde il est beau", "Que de la radio" and "Saperlipopette".

Couleur 3 also talks about films, fashion, video games, books, the Internet and everything that is going on in its listeners' lives.

Couleur 3 succeeds in being bold, original and stylish – or to put it another way, interesting and vivacious.

Rete Tre was born at midnight on 31 December 1987, at the beginning of a new year. Today, “La Tre” (as it is affectionately known by aficionados) is firmly rooted in RTSI's wider radio offering. Created as a “young” radio station, designed and developed for young people (and generally produced by young people as well), Rete Tre gradually became popular with a more adult audience while retaining its fresh, informal, irreverent and playful style. The Rete Tre repertoire offers a varied and up-to-date range of music, as well as pop and rock classics, that reflects its multifaceted character. Rete Tre’s success is, however, due largely to the humour which has always characterised it, in addition to its music selection and programmes produced in a serious but light-hearted vein. A (more or less secret) ingredient in a recipe which has bound thousands of people in Italian-speaking Switzerland and elsewhere to that infernal contraption we call the radio for almost twenty years. Luckily for us

You get more from Radio Rumantsch. On our station, you'll hear not only traditional jazz from "Fränzlis da Tschlin" but also hip hop from "Liricas Analas". We make programmes for young people and the young at heart, and make a particular effort to promote emerging talent. For many years we have been organising concerts, making our own concert recordings and also supporting the production of new CDs.

This website offers a platform for young Romansch music and for Swiss music from all language regions. Its aim is to encourage as many people as possible to be an active part of developing the Romansch music scene. It couldn't be simpler – tell us about bands and artists who make good music, and send us gig dates as well as information on events that would interest a young audience. Send your friends a link to this website! We look forward to getting your e-mail. Tgi che sa rumantsch sa dapli!
