Radio SRF 3 is the third radio station from Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF).

The station was launched on 1 November 1983 at 00:01 hours (as DRS 3) in response to the licensing of private radio stations in Switzerland. During its early years, it couldn't be received on FM in Central Switzerland.¹

It originally primarily played music aimed at a younger audience, and was later repositioned as a "generalist young-adults" station in 1999 following the launch of DRS Virus that same year. The station broadcasts in Swiss German, except news programs, which are transmitted in Swiss Standard German or Standard German.
