Public radio is financed by the public TV-media tax. Basically, they get a 'cut' of the revenue....use some commercials to augment the station and deliver a product.
The six?
HR-Info. Next year will be the 20th year of operation. It's pure news....covering the whole spectrum.
You-FM. Well...it's geared toward the club scene in the state....at least originally, and I'd say it appeals to mostly the 16-to-25 year old youth group. There's some occasional interviews/talk-shows....but it fits their format.
HR-1. It started in the late 1940s, and was geared for several decades as the prime news network for the whole state. In 2004....they revamped HR-1 to be the 'oldies' network for the senior generation (mostly 1960s to 1980s music). If you asked me today....I'd say it's gear for the 1970s to 1990s folks.
HR-2. The culture FM station, from readings of books to poetry.....from plays to classical concerts.
HR-3. Pop-music from the past twenty years.
HR-4. Music from the 1960 to 1990s.
Getting these? You can load them on your laptop or Tab with the App functions.
Or you can get them via DVB-S, DVB-C, internet, FM or DAB-Plus.
On my recommendation....I run HR-3 probably two hours a day for background music in the house.

AFN radio is much better today than it was 30yrs ago.
Having experienced AFN radio in 78-79, 84-85, and from 1993 on....I'll just say that late 70s to late 80s were the better era. But AFN was tied to a problem having various different formats throughout the day, in that era.
Germans in the Frankfurt era...from the 1950s to the 1980s...were listening to AFN-radio and preferred it for music.
With streaming audio...several thousand radio stations now available....it's hard to say if anyone is ahead.
I probably should write a blog over AFN-TV, the old Gasthaus show, Randy the weather guy, and the stupid commercials that used to be on AFN-TV. I haven't watched an hour of that since 1994.
