Subject: RE: Music of the World (Musik der Welt)
My pleasure. There's quite a bit of good "world music" broadcasting here, on HR2 and two other stations (that I can receive). NDR Info (NDR == Norddeutscher Rundfunk == North German Radio) and Deutschlandfunk (Radio Germany) also broadcast some "world music", but I can't think of a regular time-slot. There are a couple of other stations that I can't receive that have interesting programs, too.

NDR Info has a different jazz program every evening. My favorite is "Jazz Classics" on Saturdays (at 8:00 PM), which is mostly historical recordings of early jazz and swing, but sometimes later jazz.

By and large, I find the radio to be very good here. Of course, most of the stations play current pop music that I absolutely hate, but I think a choice of 3 radio stations with programs I like is amazing --- and no commercials!
