In postwar Germany the Saargebiet belonged first to the French zone of occupation. The military government established 1945/46 "radio Saarbruecken ", which came into force on 31 December 1947 the civilian Saarland office for broadcast subordinated wurde.1952 the first broadcast law for the Saarland, due to whose the transmitter was converted as Saarland broadcast into a GmbH. One year later was sent the first television broadcast in the Saarland.

Until 1953 only one radio broadcasting program (late SR 1) would send the SR. Then radio Saarbruecken started its second radio broadcasting program SR 2.

After the entry of the Saarland to the Federal Republic of Germany 1957 the Saarland broadcast GmbH to the public national broadcasting corporation for the Saarland with names of Saarland Rundfunk.1959 was taken up the SR to the pool of broadcasting corporations.

On 5 April 1969 the three South West German Rundunkanstalten SR, Southern German Broadcasting Corporation and Southwestern German Broadcasting Corporation with one transmission evening from Saarbruecken started its common third television program "southwest 3" or S3.Es were the youngest thereby altogether of the five third television programs that pool of broadcasting corporations institute first it at only three, starting from September 1969 at four weekdays were sent and 1971 to over the whole week a handing program expanded. Over many years southwest 3 had its emphasis in education and training programmes as well as a weekly regional evening, which was organized separately in the three Lands of the Federal Republic, thus also in the Saarland. The gradual change of the television programs by the introduction of the commercial private television in the middle of the 80's led contentwise to a clear regionalization of the third programs. Starting from 30 August 1998 S3 in the Saarland became SR the television southwest together with numerous regionally opened Saarland windows and one further with the SWR (fuses from Southern German Broadcasting Corporation and Southwestern German Broadcasting Corporation) organized coat program (southwest television).

On 1 November 1964 SR 1 was removed to an music-oriented program (SR 1 European wave Saar).

Since that time since 1 January 1995 the program carries for the names SR 2 culture radio and is an culture-oriented full program. The program was removed step by step to the full program, until it gave since 1971 daily transmissions. In the blanking gap of this program the SR on 2 October 1989 its regional videotex offer under the designation Saartext started.

On 6 November 1989 the SR its fourth radio broadcasting program SR 4 started. Here it concerned a merge program, since 1. March 1999 above all foreigner programs as well as direct transmissions from Bundestag and Landtag radiated.
