Hessischer Rundfunk

Hessischer Rundfunk is the public broadcaster for the German state of Hesse with main offices in Frankfurt.  Along with television, HR currently carries 6 radio channels: hr1, hr2-kultur, hr3, hr4, hr-info and YOU FM.

At the time this sticker came out, hr1 was the network's main information channel.  They currently carry MOR/Easy Listening music aimed at a 40-60 year old demographic.

hr2 carries cultural programming and Classical music although it appears they previously targeted children.

hr3 carries adult-oriented popular music.

hr4 is aimed at older listeners, playing German popular music, light Classical, folk and instrumental music as well as regional news.

Studio Kassel is the headquarters of hr4 as well as the television magazine "Herkules".

What the hell is in that woman's mouth?!  A bunch of carrots?

hr XXL existed from 1998 to 2003 and featured independent music for a young people.

"Unkle Otto" has been the mascot of Hessischer Rundfunk since 1958.  In earlier years he had an H-shaped television antenna coming out of his head but more recently switched to an "hr".
