Programming
The main programmes on the channel come from Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen, which have already been aired on SRF 1 and SRF zwei.
During the evenings the channel rebroadcasts the daily news programmes SRF Tagesschau, 10vor10 and Schweiz aktuell.
The channel also rebroadcasts some programmes such as the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos.
In 2019, due to scheduling issues, SRF info broadcast the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, instead of its sister channel SRF zwei.
