Reception

SRG SSR produces and broadcasts programmes and has a complex infrastructure in place to ensure that it can fulfil its broadcasting remit at all times.

There are four ways to receive SRG SSR’s radio programmes. This guarantees almost 100% coverage of households in Switzerland. 

Terrestrial Reception of SRG SSR programmes through a house, room or car aerial:

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) – digital reception: for every station within the respective language region as well as the first station for each of the other language regions. Various digital station packages are also available, depending on the language region. The aim is to upgrade from DAB to DAB+ over the next few years. The advantage of this is that, using the same infrastructure, almost twice as many stations can be broadcast from each transmitter.

FM – analogue reception: for every station within the respective language region as well as the first station for each of the other language regions.

MW – analogue reception: for Option Musique; this station, too, will only be available via DAB with effect from 2011, when the Sottens transmitter will be decommissioned.
Cable Reception of at least the SRG SSR stations within the respective language region as well as the first station for each of the other language regions.
Satellite Digital reception of all 18 SRG SSR stations via Hotbird 7a and 8 from Eutelsat.
Internet Reception of all 18 stations via live streaming from the individual SRG SSR radio companies.
