ČRo Plzen

Český rozhlas Plzeň is a regional studio of the public Czech broadcasting in Plzeň. It offers a programme with news, regional information, oldies and Czech traditional music for Western Bohemia.

The history of the station began dramatically on 5 May 1945, when resistance fighters in Plzeň seized a German transmitter and started free Czech radio reporting. From 1 July 1945, it officially became part of Československý rozhlas. Since June 1951, it has been broadcasting daily regional programmes for Western Bohemia.

Today, ČRo Plzeň is known as a local station that focuses on local content and is available nationwide through the Český rozhlas network. The programme includes current reports, culture and music from the region.
