For a century, radio has been one of the leading forms of media in Slovakia and has been a source of culture, education, entertainment and information. At the same time, it is important as it supports a sense of national identity and the collective memory. Over the decades, it has accompanied its listeners through major historical events, reported on social change and created a space for the free exchange of art, information and public discussion.
The beginning of regular radio broadcasts in Slovakia date back to 3rd August 1926, when Radiojournal made its first broadcasts from Bratislava. The first studio was housed in a makeshift facility on today’s Grösslingova Street and to begin with it only broadcast for a few hours per week. However, radio quickly gained popularity and became an inseparable part of everyday life in Slovakia.
