On the other hand, there is a wide range of stations geared to special topics and music genres.

For example, "Puls" specifically addresses teenagers and young adults, while "Schlagerparadies" serves the genre of Schlager. BR offers more than 15 different stations on the topics of classical music, homeland or traffic.
