Radio SRF 3 is the third radio station from Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF).
The station was launched on 1 November 1983 at 00:01 hours (as DRS 3) in response to the licensing of private radio stations in Switzerland. During that time, it couldn't be received in Central Switzerland.[1]
It originally primarily played music aimed at a younger audience, and was later repositioned as a "generalist young-adults" station in 1999 following the launch of DRS Virus that same year. The station broadcasts in Swiss German, except news programs, which are transmitted in Standard German.
