Swiss Radio DRS is relocating: The youth radio station Virus will be relocated from Basel to Zurich by the end of 2009. The Virus employees are to move to the DRS3 environment, according to a communiqué issued on Thursday. The three music programs produced in Bern, Swiss Pop, Swiss Jazz and Swiss Classic, will also be broadcast from a different location in future. In line with the musical orientation of the stations, Swiss Pop will be integrated into the Zurich radio studio, while Swiss Jazz and Swiss Classic will move to the Basel radio studio.
Radio managers are pleased with the listening figures. Last year, the DRS stations achieved the highest market share of 64.5 percent since the current usage statistics were introduced in 2001. Swiss DRS radio is evidently meeting the tastes and quality expectations of the audience.
