SWR4 is the name of two independent state radio programs of the Südwestrundfunk : SWR4 Baden-Württemberg and SWR4 Rhineland-Palatinate .

The two programs have the same music format, a common motto (SWR4. We are at home.) And alternately produce a common evening program.

According to a study published by the Media Analysis Working Group in March 2017, SWR4 Baden-Württemberg hears 1.31 million people in the state every day. SWR4 Baden-Württemberg has 1.46 million listeners nationwide. SWR4 Rhineland-Palatinate is switched on by 490,000 people in Rhineland-Palatinate every day. The radio program reaches 650,000 people across Germany.

Emergence

Both programs were created in 1998 under the direction of Martin Born (who was also program director in Baden-Württemberg until 2006) and Helmut Wandres (wave director Rhineland-Palatinate until 1999) in the course of the merger of SDR with SWF to form the new Südwestrundfunk (SWR). The previous programs were SWF4 Rheinland-Pfalz by SWF (Südwestfunk) and S4 Baden-Württemberg , which was operated jointly by SDR and SWF.

Content

music

As a music format, SWR4 mainly plays German-language modern hits and Schlageroldies . In addition, international evergreens , instrumental and folk music as well as classical music on Sundays can be heard. In 2004, the proportion of German-language songs was 86 percent.

Bodensee Radio and Radio Tübingen organized a joint morning magazine.

In addition, the regional studios offer half-hour regional news from Monday to Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 6:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. On Sundays there is regional news once at 5:30 p.m.

The morning programs of the regional programs have been discontinued since January 4, 2016 and have been replaced by a joint morning program that is produced in Stuttgart . There was certainly protest in the press and in politics. Those responsible for the program are being sharply criticized for this, as a net decline in regionalization can be observed. There are also collisions with the State Treaty .

As early as 2013, the sub-regionalization for South Baden, i.e. the frequency split into Radio Breisgau (Freiburg, since 1988), Ortenau Radio (Offenburg, 1995), Hochrhein Radio (Lörrach, 1996) and Radio Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg (Villingen-Schwenningen, 2002), ceased to exist. .
