ČRo Plus is a radio station of the Czech Radio in the Czech Republic. It is full-screen spoken-word station, focused on analytical journalism. It was founded in 2013, when it replaced the trio of stations ČRo 6, ČRo Rádio Česko [cs] and ČRo Leonardo [cs]. Czech Radio claims that the station is aimed towards listeners over the age of 35.[1]

For its nature, the radio station bears similarities with its foreign counterparts; BBC Radio 4 and B5 aktuell.[2] As of the first quarter of 2023, 144,000 listeners listened to the station daily.[3]

History

The station started broadcasting on 1 March 2013. On 27 March 2013 (less than a month after the start of the broadcast), the Czech Radio Council recommended to Czech Radio to extend the station's broadcasting hours from the current 4pm to midnight.[4]

From 3 June 2013, Plus started broadcasting digitally, 24 hours a day. Until then, it shared the position with ČRo Jazz. From 2 November 2015, ČRo Plus began broadcasting live on VHF frequencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with news every 30 minutes.

On 31 December 2021, broadcasting of the Plus station on medium waves was terminated, along with Dvojka and Radiožurnál stations.[5]

Programming

The station has four thematic areas of analysis - politics, business, society and science. The station also broadcasts radio documentaries. Reporters use primary sources (such as call-ins[6]), and content from foreign press such as Reuters.[7] News bulletins are often short, with big news blocks coming in at noon and 6pm. Modeled on Radio Free Europe and Radio Prague International, the station also broadcasts short five-minute long news bulletins in English after 1am.[8][9]

Despite the Leonardo station closing down in 2013, the station's content has been remodelled into a 26-minute magazine of the same name which is essentially a summary of events in the field of science.[10]

Broadcasting

The platforms on which the station broadcasts are VHF, internet, digital networks (DVB-T2, DVB-S2, DVB-C), digital radio DAB+ and mobile phone applications. Since November 2015, the station has been broadcasting an extended programme on VHF.[10]
