Radio Praha

Radio Praha

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic finances the international broadcasting service in Czech, Radio Prague (http://www.radio.cz/en) as part of its state promotion and information activities. This broadcasting service, now operated by the Czech Radio (Český rozhlas 7), has a long-lasting tradition – it started in 1936. Czech compatriot communities abroad form the majority of Radio Prague’s listeners, being able to listen to Czech language news in both close and remote areas of the world via the satellite, shortwave broadcasting or online. A number of radio stations abroad rebroadcast Radio Prague’s programmes. Radio Prague’s editorial board cooperates also with other bodies which focus on the promotion of the Czech Republic abroad, such as the Czech Centres, CzechTourism, CzechInvest and others. The broadcast is done in English, German, French, Spanish, Czech and Russian.

Radio Prague also runs the portal krajane.net, which serves as a news site about compatriots and Czechs abroad (in Czech).
