hr1 is the first radio station of theHessischer Rundfunk.
hr1 is the successor ofRadio Frankfurt, a radio program run by the American occupation government afterWorld War II. After a formal law was issued, the radio station was transferred to the civil government on 28 January 1949.
Until 2004, hr1 was mainly an information program with news and stories. It was then turned into a general radio station playing music from the 1960s to the 1980s and aiming at an older audience. This program change was met with harsh criticism and caused the number of listeners to drop sharply. Most of the information programs were moved to other radio stations, includinghr2 andhr-info.
hr1 can be received in all ofHesse and neighboring regions on FM andDAB+. It is also present onDVB-C, theAstra 19.2°E satellite (DVB-S), and online vialivestreaming.
