The presentation is part of the community, always bimedial in dialogue with this, and integrates this dialogue with artists and audiences into the current program. A prime example is that the transmitter has invited a band live in the studio and the listeners can directly ask questions through the chat box on the station's website, which are then answered and broadcast.
The following routes are moderated live weekday: morning (8-12 clock ), afternoon (13-17 clock ) and Eve (17-20 clock ). From 20 to 22 clock there are moderated music specials. Swiss artists like Saalschutz, Seven and Mental X present their own shows on SRF virus.
