Czech Radio Pohoda Starts Its Broadcasting

The new station offers the best of Czech Radio’s production, using archive programmes of the regional stations and the Dvojka station. Actors Dana Syslová and Tomáš Töpfer gave their voices to the station.

Czech Radio Pohoda offers stories of prominent personalities, interviews with interesting guests, episodic readings, radio plays, entertainment programmes, popular science magazines and music evergreens of the 50s, 60s and 70s. The broadcasting will also include news service and weather forecasts.

Intended not only for old-timers, the station can be listened to through DAB+, the Internet, the mujRozhlas mobile app or the DVB-T2 television network. “Through the launch of the new station, Czech Radio contributes to further development of the DAB+ digital broadcasting. I believe the station will make a nice present to our most devoted listeners and that it will reach also new audience through its programmes,” says René Zavoral, Director General of Czech Radio.

An integral part of the station’s schedule is live broadcasting. From Monday to Friday between 8 and 9 AM there will be live morning show Pohodové ráno (“Relaxed Morning”) to help the listeners kick-start their day. At 11 AM on weekdays, there will be live magazine of curiosities from home and from abroad titled Kolotoč (“Merry-Go-Round”). Other programmes with live contact with the listeners include Písničky od srdce („Songs from the Heart“) and Noční linka („Night Line“). “Czech Radio Pohoda is primarily intended for our most senior and devoted listeners who hold traditional values and spend most of their time at home. The station should let them feel in a good company, be calm and relaxed and have a good mood, evoking positive life memories,” says Jan Menger, Regional Service Director who is responsible for the station.

Combining live broadcasting and programmes from the archive, the Pohoda station features presenters Václav Žmolík, Tomáš Voženílek, Václav Kuba, Lukáš Bárczay, Jana Chládková, Martina Hynková Vrbová and Jitka Lukešová.
