Description
One of Sveriges Radio's three national channels. The broadcaster's own channel record describes it in its own words as "P3 är kanalen för den musikintresserade publiken som också bjuder på underhållning, nyheter och populärkultur", the channel for the music-interested audience that also offers entertainment, news and popular culture. It is the young, music-driven national network, with its own hourly news service, P3 Nyheter, separate from the corporation's main Ekot bulletins, and a large documentary and narrative-podcast output carried on the same channel.

Contact route
Per-programme email addresses on the broadcaster's own sverigesradio.se domain, published by the broadcaster itself in its own programme records, including a dedicated address for Morgonpasset i P3, a general P3 address used by P3 med, Eftermiddag i P3, Magasinet i P3, Fredag i P3 and P3 Mix, a P3 Nyheter address, and separate addresses for P3 Dokumentär, P3 Soul, P3 Krim, P3 Klubben, Creepypodden i P3 and others, plus a central listener-service address used by the remaining programmes. No studio telephone number is published for P3 itself in the records I read.

Era
Predominantly current. The playlist above is led by 2020s releases, with a small share of catalogue reaching back to the 1970s (Golden Earring), 1990s (The Notorious Big, Doctor Dre with Snoop Doggy Dogg) and 2000s (Caesars Palace, The Arcade Fire, The Xx).

Music
Music radio with speech. Contemporary pop, hip hop, R&B and dance, wrapped in magazine, comedy, documentary and news strands.

Language
Swedish. Every programme title, presenter credit and description in its own channel record is Swedish.

Kind
Live, presenter-led, with continuous music strands and hourly news. The overnight slot is Vaken med P3 & P4, a programme the broadcaster co-brands and carries on more than one channel, and the late evening carries repeat editions of the day's Morgonpasset and Magasinet under their own "Gästen" and "Panelen" titles.

Worth knowing
The whole rendered sverigesradio.se website answered me with HTTP 403 from an Akamai edge block, so every fact above comes instead from the broadcaster's own open API on its own second domain, api.sr.se, which serves the channel record, the grid, the programme list with contact addresses, and the live playlist. Anyone needing the rendered pages will need a residential browser.

Where
Sweden, national. It is carried on FM and DAB and streamed by the broadcaster itself; no single frequency belongs to the channel and its own record publishes a live stream rather than a frequency list.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| homepage url | https://sverigesradio.se/ → https://www.sverigesradio.se/kanaler/p3 | The stored value was the broadcaster's portal root, which serves 52 channels and is not P3's page. Sveriges Radio publishes P3's own channel address itself: its channel record at https://api.sr.se/api/v2/channels/164?format=json gives siteurl "https://www.sverigesradio.se/kanaler/p3" for channel id 164, name P3, alongside P3's own tagline and its own live audio mount. Same registrable domain as the stored value, so no off-domain redirect. Note for whoever applies this: the rendered sverigesradio.se site answered every request of mine with HTTP 403 from an Akamai edge block, so the address is taken from the broadcaster's own API rather than from loading the page, and a verification pass will need a residential browser. |

https://www.sverigesradio.se/kanaler/p3 → https://www.sverigesradio.se/kanaler/p3 | Taken from Sveriges Radio's own channel register at api.sr.se/api/v2/channels, read directly rather than from the rendered site, which returns 403 to us from an Akamai edge. The row held the portal root, which is the whole broadcaster rather than this channel. The register gives P3 as id 164, xmltvid p3.sr.se, with its own siteurl https://www.sverigesradio.se/kanaler/p3. || the field already held this value |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| a contact page address | I could not open any page on the rendered site to confirm one exists at a stated URL, and the brief permits only a URL I actually read, so I have named the routes instead of guessing the page.
source |
| the network's other presenters and programmes | 52 channels share this portal and this block contains only what the broadcaster's own channel record for id 164 attributes to P3. In particular nothing from Sveriges Radio Finska, which is the other row in this batch, has been allowed in.
source |
| Ekot, Ekot senaste nytt, Radiosporten and Karlavagnen as P3 programmes | they appear in P3's grid but they are corporation-wide services carried across several channels, so I have listed only the overnight Ekot senaste nytt placements as they fall in P3's own grid and attributed none of them to the channel.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
