The station broadcasts a continuous stream of traditional folk music, characterized as fresh, handcrafted, lively, honest, and cheeky. The broadcaster’s programming focuses on a wide variety of folk music styles originating from the Alps and other German-speaking regions. This includes Landler, Polka, Schottisch, and Zwiefacher, alongside styles like string music, yodeling, couplets, and what is termed “Tradimix.” The emphasis is on music performed with sincerity, character, and a personal touch, aiming to bring a genuine folk music experience to listeners in various settings, from homes to workplaces. The station strives to provide a platform for authentic musical expression, highlighting the cultural heritage embedded within these traditional forms. The station's programming is a 24-hour daily broadcast, offering a curated selection of folk music. Listeners can view a weekly schedule (Wochenprogramm) to anticipate upcoming selections. Specific artists and groups frequently featured include Die 6 lustigen Fünf and the Blechernen Saiten. The station relies on music submissions from groups to populate its playlists, and actively encourages more musicians, particularly from the Oberpfalz region, to contribute their music. Currently, “De 3 Andern,” the “Trio Collegio,” and the “Egerländer Familienmusik Schmidt” are regularly featured from that area. The station also maintains a guestbook (Hörer-Gästebuch) where listeners can share their feedback and opinions on the programming. The broadcaster began its online broadcasts in March 2012. It is described as a significant, volunteer-driven effort to compile and transmit this specialized programming. The station’s team acknowledges the reliance on music submissions from groups and actively promotes this as a means of public outreach. A listener, Peter W. Schmidt, specifically praised the station's efforts and noted the importance of the station's role in showcasing the diverse range of musicians and musical traditions. The station's continued operation depends on the willingness of musical groups to provide their music for broadcast. The station provides technical information for reception and maintains an online guestbook for listener feedback. Listeners can access a weekly schedule and view a list of recently played tracks. The station emphasizes the importance of listener engagement and encourages contributions from musicians to expand the breadth of the musical offerings. The broadcaster’s commitment lies in preserving and sharing traditional folk music through a continuous, accessible online platform.
