Transmitter locations in the 1930s

The Czechoslovak radio starts on May 18, 1923 as a radio journal (actually a magazine distributed via radio waves ) from a tent in Kbely (from 1925 the Prague-Strašnice station) on the basis of the Telegraph Act. In 1924 he moved to Foch Street, today's Vinohradská (from 1932 house number 12). This is followed by stations in Brno (Komárov, 1924), Bratislava (1926), Košice (1927), Ostrava (1929), Liblice (1931, Prague I), Banská Bystrica (1936) and Prešov (1938). In 1936 the foreign service is taken up (short wave transmitter Poděbrady ).

From October 1938, the Mělník station broadcasts German-language programs. As a result of the cession of the Sudetenland to Germany, which was enforced in the Munich Agreement , the Ostrava-Svinov (Ostrau-Schönbrunn) station comes to the Reich broadcaster Breslau as the Troppau station ; as a replacement, the Czech station Ostrava-Mariánské hory (Marienberg) was opened in December 1938. Also in December 1939, the radio journal for Česko-Slovenský rozhlas ( Czecho-Slovak Radio ). After the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , the Slovak radio becomes formally independent. The Czech radio briefly returned to the name Radiojournal , then from June 1939 Český rozhlas ( Czech Radio ), whereby the Mělník station was spun off as the Reichsender Böhmen , as was the shortwave station Podiebrad. The Dobrochov (Dobrochau) transmitter, which was completed in early 1939, began broadcasting propaganda in the direction of Southeastern Europe, mainly produced in Vienna, as the German Europe transmitter “Donau” (later together with the transmitter “ Alpen ” near Graz) from 1940 . In 1940/41, the Czech Radio lost the remnants of its autonomy and joined the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft as Radio Bohemia and Moravia (from 1942 broadcasting group Bohemia and Moravia with Mělník).

After the Second World War, the reunited Czechoslovak Radio is nationalized as Československý rozhlas (ČSRo), with a bilingual first program (1970-89 Hvězda , i.e. star ), the Czech program Praha and the Slovak program Bratislava . In 1951/52 the Topolná long-wave transmitter goes into operation. Television begins in 1953 (second program in 1970). In 1957, radio was subordinated to a committee for radio and television (Československý výbor pro rozhlas a televisi, ČVRT) and television was thus made independent. In the Prague Spring 1968 radio under Zdeněk Hejzlar also played a role. In 1972 the radio programs Vltava (named after the river Moldau , Czech) and Devín (after the castle Devín , Slovak) as well as the multilingual Interprogramm , 1986 the music program Melodie .

With the division of the country, the broadcaster ceased its operations on December 31, 1992 and began broadcasting in Czech ( Český rozhlas , ČRo) and Slovak radio ( Slovenský rozhlas , SRo). The first program of the Czech Radio is called Radiožurnál, based on the beginnings .
