SWR4 Ulm

SWR4 Ulm is the regional programme of SWR4 Baden-Württemberg for the Ulm area, broadcast by Südwestrundfunk (SWR), the public broadcaster for south-west Germany. It plays a popular mix of German schlager, oldies and easy pop hits, together with regional news, weather and traffic information.

SWR4 is aimed at a mature audience and is known for a warm, familiar sound, with presenters speaking German and regular reports from the region. The Ulm studio provides local content for the city and surrounding area, while parts of the day are shared with other SWR4 regions across Baden-Württemberg.

As a public broadcaster, SWR is financed mainly by the broadcasting licence fee, and the programme is free to listen to. The stream is a 128 kbps MP3 feed delivered via the ARD audio infrastructure. Listeners can expect friendly, conversational presentation, music from past decades alongside current German-language favourites, and frequent regional updates.
