It's our second anniversary—come celebrate with us


Joing us in Zurich WRS has reached the ripe age of two years old. To celebrate the occasion—and our new nationwide availability on DAB+—we’re throwing a week-long live radio party in Zurich.

And you’re all invited!

Join host Conor Lennon from 4:30 to 7 pm any evening Monday, Nov 9 to Friday, Nov 13 as we broadcast The Wrap live from Movie Restaurant in Zurich.

Some of the week’s highlights:

  • Live music from top Swiss artists every night during the show
  • Round-table discussions on contemporary topics including Swiss culture and business at home and abroad
  • A look at expatriate life—and the role of the English language in Switzerland
  • Dispatches from WRS’s band of intrepid journalists across the country

No need to bring presents—but we are interested to hear your views on how we’ve done over the last 24 months. Like to hear more music? More news? We’re all ears. Write us at twoyears@worldradio.ch

Highlights from The Wrap live in Zurich:

Tuesday: Exploring the ’expat experience’
Wednesday: The role of English in Switzerland
Thursday: Switzerland’s future as a business hub discussed
Friday: Is there such a thing as ’Swiss culture’?

I used to listen to the morning show with Mark, but no longer. It’s now moved to a worthy, Swiss-oriented, lecture programme and I can’t be bothered at that time of the morning. Sorry, but at least they’ve got me learning more French by forcing me to change channels. Ironic that I’m even more interested in a channel where I don’t understand the language. Oh well…

The stories/interviews on specific aspects of Switzerland have been a great addition to your program in the last 2 years. I’m now more aware of the country. Keep it up.

Hey - its my two-year anniversary too (in Geneva, at least). WRS was a welcome surprise. Thanks for keeping expats informed about their home away from home. I’m too late for tix I guess, but still love the station. Thanks.

Guys, i used to love the station but now it should be renamed BBC Prime Radio. Does everything have to be repeated especially as you have them online to download ? The world clock times are a waste of time and i think Susan should be given a quick refresher course on how to use the faders on the control panal, don’t know how many times she’s caught talking and can’t be heard with the music playing.In fairness she’s a very good interveiwer, maybe not the most up to date music wise. Will keep listening as overall great music and very informative. Oh and Conor. much improved on getting the time right :) Last suggestion, if it is a problem to see the studio clock as seems sometimes, MOVE IT. Ciao
