22.03.2025 - Czechia Czechia

Country Radio will stop broadcasting on medium wave from Liblice in Central Bohemia at the end of March. This decision is irreversible and the replacement will be an extension of DAB+ coverage. The medium wave transmission will continue on average commercial terms for South Bohemia only. The aim is to ensure a smooth transition of listeners from one platform to another, with DAB+ network coverage reaching 80 per cent of the population. According to the Digital Radio portal, the remaining 14 DAB+ transmitters of Czech Radio will be launched at the end of March. This expansion will significantly increase the coverage of digital radio broadcasting in the Czech Republic. Martin Hroch, director of Radio United, the company that operates the station, confirmed the plan to the editors, stressing the importance of a smooth transition for listeners.
