Deutschlandfunk Kultur

Deutschlandfunk Kultur is the culture station of Deutschlandradio, the German national public broadcaster. The schedule includes literature, theatre, music, film, radio plays, discussions and thoughtful reports on society and the arts, as well as news and current affairs, in a style that is calm, intelligent and in depth. It is a main source of cultural radio in the German language.

Germany has one of the largest radio markets in Europe, with the regional public broadcasters of the ARD network, the national Deutschlandradio services and a wide range of private stations and web channels, and German-language radio is a rich source of listening practice for learners and a link with home for Germans abroad. As a public service financed mainly by licence fees, it carries limited advertising compared with commercial stations. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 128 kbps, a standard quality that sounds clear on most devices and keeps data use moderate. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
