Among the many radio stations that grace the airwaves, Bayern 1 stands out. The station mainly broadcasts local and regional news. In addition to that, it also plays a number of the hits from the 1970s and 1980s. In recent years, it has ventured into the world of pop music. Despite that, it remains the radio station to beat if you ask me.

Although the station has been around for decades, it only recently made the leap into the digital stratosphere. It now boasts over 3 million daily listeners. This makes it the most popular radio station in Bavaria. It can be heard on FM, DAB+, DVB-C and DVB-S. For the more tech savvy, the station is also available on mobile devices and the web. The station also happens to be one of the oldest radio stations to make the jump to digital. In addition, it is one of the few that is still in operation after a merger with BR-Klassik.

The station is known for its comprehensive regional reporting. The most interesting part of this is the fact that the station is the only station in the country that is capable of transmitting live weather and traffic data. The station also boasts a full-service programming department. If you are a fan of the sports scene, you will be pleased to know that Bayern 1 has a knack for covering major sporting events. The station's football coverage is second to none.
