The programming of hr-info varied in terms of content. The station with focus on speech broadcasts news, background information and sentiments in the sector of politics, business, education, and culture. Exclusiv researched content is also edited for other information appropriations by Hessischer Rundfunk. In relation to the broadcasting area of HR, hr-info has the largest day range of all information radio stations by ARD with 406,000 listeners per day (Monday to Sunday, respectively from 5:00 a.m. to 12 a.m., listeners at the age of 14 and older).[1]
The precursor of hr-info was the business radio station hr-skyline. After the move of hr-skyline from the studios at Main Tower to Broadcasting House Dornbusch, the removal of hr-info as a news radio began in 2004. Its first air date was 30 August 2004. hr-info increased the listener figures continual, and the program focus has been expanded by science, education, and culture.
Producing a word-oriented news station is the basic idea of hr-info. Instead of shows, there was a "Stundenuhr" from the very first at hr-info, a schema for the division of one broadcasting hour, which makes for the findability of the respective topics in one hour. There is also some space for advertising.
hr-info took over some news formats from hr1 after its transition into an oldies format. The station is commercial-free.
Stundenuhr for the current programming
Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.:
As all radio stations of Hessischer Rundfunk, hr-info is also using the dynamic RDS-PS and is normally broadcasting the station name, phone numbers (e.g. traffic jam hotlines), or information.
On the medium frequency 594 kHz as soon as over individual cable- and satellite channels (DVB-S), the channel hr-info plus (sometimes also as hr-info+) was broadcast.
The hr-info plus station emerged from hr-chronos, which also broadcast debates till it was discontinued. hr-info plus was abandoned on 31 December 2009.[2]
The station is available in Hesse via FM broadcasting and DAB+, and beyond Hesse via DVB-C, DVB-S and livestreaming. On 11 February 2013, some of hr2-kultur's FM frequencies were taken over by hr-info, leading to an improved reception, mostly in Central Hesse.[3]
