With a market share of 60 per cent, Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) enjoys a dominant position in the French-speaking western Swiss radio market. RTS offers four stations:
- La Première, a full-service station that takes its listeners through the day with the latest news and background reports, stories, entertainment and music.
- Espace 2, an arts station playing classical and contemporary music, jazz and folk, with features on the arts, history, society, etc., radio plays and many concert broadcasts.
- Couleur 3, a youth station playing rock and pop, with features on politics and society and an irreverent presentation style.
- Option Musique, a music station playing favourite tunes – most of which come from French-speaking countries – from the last fifty years. News bulletins, traffic reports and weather forecasts complete the station's schedule, which is presented in a lively and informal style.
