NDR 2 is a popular radio station based in Hamburg, Germany, operated by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). It emerged from NWDR Nord in 1956 when Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk split into separate stations. NDR 2 primarily targets listeners aged 30-59 with a mix of current pop music, news, comedy, and service reports.

The station boasts a wide reach, attracting up to 1.9 million daily listeners in its broadcasting area and 2.16 million nationwide. NDR 2 is the only NDR program that broadcasts advertising, using the income to finance events like the "stars@ndr2" festival.

Its programming includes morning and afternoon shows, news updates, traffic reports, and specialized music programs in the evenings. NDR 2 also offers several podcast formats and maintains an app for direct listener interaction. As part of the public broadcasting system, NDR 2 is primarily funded by license fees, reflecting its commitment to public service broadcasting in northern Germany.
