P3 is broadcast nationwide on FM (also digitally via DAB in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Luleå) as well as being streamed on the internet. It also operated the web- and DAB-only channel P3 Star until June 2019.
Test broadcastings were introduced in 1962. On 1 July 1964, Sveriges Radio P3 began regular operations.[1][2]
Its output (pop, rock, hip-hop and dance) is oriented towards young people from junior high school age to 50. The station claims that it plays 1,200 different songs every week and at least 1/3 of them are Swedish. It also welcomes musical suggestions from listeners and records from unsigned/independent artists.[3]
As well as its music programming, P3 also provides a traffic message channel service.
