Couleur 3

Couleur 3 is the youth-oriented music channel of RTS, the French-language Swiss public broadcaster. It plays current urban and alternative music, mixing pop, rock and electronic sounds, and is known for an irreverent, offbeat tone aimed at a young audience. Programmes have included a satirical morning show and live-session shows with guest artists.

RTS is part of the SRG SSR group, which is financed mainly by licence fees. The station broadcasts in French from French-speaking Switzerland, and is reported to be moving with other RTS radio services to Lausanne-Ecublens. The current schedule is best checked on the RTS website, as programme names change over time.

On RadioKite the stream runs around the clock. It is delivered as AAC at about 96 kbps, a moderate bitrate that gives good sound for speech and music while keeping data use modest. It plays in your browser without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
