What's your favourite radio station in Switzerland?

I just bought a radio alarm clock and would like to hear what you think the best station I should wake up to?

I'm looking for a French radio station that provides the news and/or classical music. I am located in Lausanne... I've gone through this list: http://www.emetteurs.ch/wiki/index.p...C3%A0_Lausanne but it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long! Looking for recommendations.

Thank you!

I listen to La Premiere and France Musique (mainly online/podcast)

A fairly new station is

http://www.radio1.ch/

managed by Roger Schawinski, and so in decent hands

while

www.drs1.ch

is the official state radio I have been used to since the 1950ies

For Swiss French radio, go for Espace 2 and/or Option Musique for classical music + news : http://www.rts.ch/espace-2/ .

From where you are you should be able to pick up French channels too, possibly one of those does classical. Check out France Inter for news.

OK, I don't know French radio.

But for a mostly-news German radio station, try dradio.de (Deutschlandfunk).

After 22:00 or so, they switch over to classical music.

Their news is great, though. Lot's of long interviews (not 20s soundbites), lot's of long background reports - radio like it should be.

They have an iPhone App and I use that because I can't get it any other way here.

But they have an MP3-stream on their website, which should work on most phones and computers nowadays.

After a few years of only FM1 for choice of radio... we now have a DAB/Internet radio and I lsiten to Swiss Pop all day long... no commercials, no news, just music

I liked Espace 2 the most! I've preset my radio to this station for when I wake up.

Option Musique is my choice. It’s the only decent channel in the whole of my area (Fribourg) as far as I’m concerned. It was a real blow when they went DAB, but at least my husband knew what I wanted for a Christmas present that year. I hate waking up to a normal alarm clock’s noise and much prefer one that plays music I like.

Are you real??? asking for someone to give you a recommendation on a radio channel???!!!

Don't you have ears to listen for a few seconds and see what you like???

What's next, are you going to ask what TV channel you should watch?

Dude, you are really being hard on this girl. This is the second post in which you have lambasted her. It is obvious that she is young and that she is new here and that her parents live in another country. You need to cut her a break.

So you want to "over protect" her ? Is that not ridiculous and excessive that someone asks for... what radio channel she should listen?

What's next, should she ask for the TV channel she has to watch?

At some point it becomes ridiculous . Her age, parental situation is not an excuse.

She is a student? Then she has to learn to "find her own favourite radio channel". She also has to stop being "spoon fed" and do her research.

Funnily enough your poor victim is aggressive enough to "groan" when something is not pleasing her. Hey, she has proven some autonomy, congratulations!!! (it avoided another topic: "How should I groan on that forum?").

I don't need, I "could" cut her a break.

Sounds a bit different, no?

Too bad the name "Grynch" is already taken.

That is, if you don't mind hearing the same songs over and over. I can only take it for a day or two and then I have to switch to something else for a while.

Should I make a new topic asking what "name" I should select?

For what it's worth, Tonino is a guy (see first post he wrote)

I agree Corse is being a bit harsh, but he has a point. Tonino might be new to CH but is not that new to EF. He has posted several questions that one could interpret as being overly needy/under-researched. Maybe he just needs some reassurance.

My impression has always been that EF is a forum where anyone can come and ask questions about anything. Rather than get mad or snarky, I just ignore threads that annoy me. No sense wasting my energy being negative. I do have to say the spoonfed baby pic made me literally LOL.

Try not to take things so seriously, people. Just my two rappen...

I'll care to explain.

I actually tried to understand why you where overprotective to that "tonino".

And I found out that old thread...

1 week to go before moving to Lausanne... anything you recommend I do beforehand?

Extract...

3. Bring tampons.

4. Bring deodorant bar soap, if you normally use something like Irish Spring. The only bar soap here is really frou-frou and made out of olive oil.

So yeah, there's actually something slightly wrong with you also...

As someone else said to you, those items are definitely available here, and for decent prices.

So also go ahead, add another "groan" to make me feel happier but consider the following:

Are you not actually over protective ?

Don't you think that a student as to be able to buy his/her own hygiene product?

What next then?

Obviously we're not going to agree (does not matters) but that "tonino" needs a serious amount of self kicking and independence. Especially if that person is a student.

What are you going to suggest him/her then, are you going to do his/her homework ?
