SWR operates
- three broadcasting centers,

spread across the entire broadcasting area.

In radio, SWR is responsible for two national information and regional programs (SWR1 and SWR4), a transnational cultural program (SWR2), the pop wave SWR3, the young program DASDING and the radio program SWR Aktuell. SWR's radio programs reach around seven million listeners every day.

The broadcasting center in Baden-Baden is responsible for the joint share of SWR television (70%). The Program Directorate for Information produces one sixth of all ARD broadcasts. Baden-Baden is also home to the Program Directorate for Culture and the Directorate for Technology and Production.
The cross-state radio stations SWR Kultur and SWR3, the young program DASDING and the radio program of the cross-media news service SWR Aktuell come from Baden-Baden. In the SWR X Lab innovation laboratory, innovative ideas are developed and translated into prototypes and products, and new digital products and services are also developed. The innovative ARD Audio Lab is also located in Baden-Baden.

At SWR, renewal measures are pending in the area of radio broadcasting. The technological and strategic objective is to standardize and harmonize technology across all channels and to standardize workflows across all SWR locations. The "EHFS - Erneuerung der Hörfunksysteme im SWR" (EHFS - Renewal of Radio Systems at SWR) project bundled several location-specific technical renewal projects for this purpose. The basic technological requirements and framework conditions for the renewal projects are considered in an overarching manner and combined into a holistic SWR concept. The results of this overall project will be successively implemented in the respective renewal projects.
