Slovenský rozhlas

Slovenský rozhlas (, ) or SRo was a state-owned nationwide public-service radio broadcaster in Slovakia. It was headquartered in Bratislava in a building shaped like an inverted pyramid, which currently serves as STVR radio's headquarters.

History

SRo began broadcasting from Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Initially broadcast twice per week on 3 August 1926, it began to broadcast daily from 2 October 1926. The broadcaster also managed the Slovak Radio Children's Choir founded in 1953 and Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (SOSR) founded in 1929, the latter then-known as Czechoslovak Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Wanting to improve finance of the state-owned public television broadcaster Slovenská televízia () on 1 January 2011 SRo merged with Slovenská televízia to create Radio and Television of Slovakia.

SRo was a full member of the European Broadcasting Union between 1993 and 2011.

Channels

When merged with Slovenská televízia in 2011, SRo operated nine radio channels, all of which were continued as a part of Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska.

The following were digital-only channels:

  • SRo 7: (classical music)
  • SRo 8: (drama)
  • SRo 9: (for children up to age 10)
