The remaining former hr2 frequencies are being given to the hr-info and You FM programs in protest of private competitors . In the radio news of the Radio Eins media magazine, Kai Ludwig pointed to the “ paradigm shift ”, “only allowing the mainstream formats HR 1, HR 3 and HR 4 an expanded VHF broadcast and HR 2 is the only remaining Hessian program Broadcasting, which covers the area of ​​so-called high culture, to be equated with the original digital additional offers.
