Radio Liechtenstein

[2] The rest of the listeners of the station mainly come from Switzerland, from its German-speaking population in its north-east, which borders Liechtenstein.

Due to the high commuter flows from Switzerland, Radio Liechtenstein's official broadcast area includes the lower Rhine Valley, which is served by two FM stations in St. Margrethen and Thal and the DAB block in eastern Switzerland as far as Lake Constance.

The legal programming mandate describes in the editorial section an objective and comprehensive range of information for the general public from all relevant sectors for a broad target group, which should be sophisticated and balanced, but also entertaining and take into account the culture, independence and other characteristics of Liechtenstein.

News is broadcast every hour from 6 am to 7 pm, which can be listened to in the "Media Library" section on the station's website.

[4] Radio Liechtenstein also likes to promote music from local artists and genres unique to the country, including songs in the German language.

Although Lirag ( German: Liechtenstein'sche Radio-Gesellschaft) was founded on 20 February 1939, the simple music program of Radio Liechtenstein was discontinued in September 1939 at the beginning of the Second World War due to financial difficulties, after the government had informed the population about the events and the measures to be taken.

750,000 francs from the state budget were invested in the expansion and reconstruction of the broadcasting network, and line rental costs were saved by switching to ball reception.

[clarification needed] In this report in October 2005, the government stated that the station produced "a similar amount of information and spoken contributions" compared to Radio Rumantsch and Radio DRS with around 1⁄10 of public funding, which meant "about twice the information output per employee (full-time equivalent)".

On 2 June 2024, Radio Liechtenstein announced that it was "in the process" of joining the European Broadcasting Union, with its application currently being decided on.

[7][8] The broadcaster also stated that it is aiming to organise Liechtenstein's participation the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025, which will take place in Switzerland.
