Expansion at World Radio Switzerland
Three years after its foundation, World Radio Switzerland WRS is expanding its broadcasting program and reception area within Switzerland. WRS now works together with the public broadcasters National Public Radio, American Public Media and Public Radio International.
These new partnerships will allow WRS to broadcast 27 additional hours of program content from public radio stations each week. WRS announced on Wednesday that it is thus realizing its declared goal of providing listeners with comprehensive information about Switzerland. With studios in Geneva, Zurich and Bern as well as funding guaranteed by SRG, WRS can also expand its reception area within Switzerland. According to Radio Control, 53,000 listeners follow the program every day, WRS added. However, the SRG's English-language radio station will continue to receive news and programs from the BBC World Service.
WRS is the English-language radio station of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SSR SRG and can be heard in the region around Lake Geneva on the frequency 101.7 FM. In the rest of Switzerland, reception requires a digital radio, cable, satellite or Swisscom TV or Internet.
