ČRo Radio Wave (in 2006-2008 Czech Radio 4 - Radio Wave) is a nationwide station of Czech Radio, which primarily operates as an online platform for audio consumption providing a wide range of podcasts and music programmes for younger listeners.

History

[edit]

The station began broadcasting on 13 January 2006 under its original name Czech Radio 4 - Radio Wave, both digitally and with an analogue VHF transmitter for Prague. In 2008, Radio Wave's analogue frequency was terminated by the Czech Radio management at the insistence of the Czech Radio Council.[1]

Programming

[edit]

The playlist of the on-air broadcast consists mainly of electropop, alternative rock, rap, dance and urban music. The daytime stream is complemented by genre programmes (funk, hardcore, hip hop, dub, world music, rap, trap, etc.) whose authors are themselves active in the music scene. Public affairs programmes and podcasts cover culture, entertainment, fashion, education, religion, travel, lifestyle and social events[2].
