Programming
editAs its name implies, Radio SRF 2 Kultur is a cultural channel. Its programming is designed to appeal to listeners of all ages for whom knowledge and learning are sources of interest and pleasure. The channel's speech content consists of features, talks, drama, readings, magazine and discussion programmes in which the emphasis is on dealing with matters extensively and in depth. "Art music" forms the major part of the channel's musical output; however, this category is not confined to classical but also includes challenging examples from the genres of pop, chanson, jazz, world and experimental music.
