Czech Radio, also known as Cesky Rozhlas and CRo, is a State Owned entity headquartered in Czechia. Founded in 1923, it employs approximately 1040 individuals and reported $103.4M in revenue as of 2024. Functioning as the public radio broadcaster of the Czech Republic, the company specializes in broadcast television and radio. It has operated continuously since 1923, distinguishing itself as the oldest national radio broadcaster in continental Europe and the second-oldest in Europe after the BBC. Established in 1992 by the Czech Radio Act, which defines its operational and financial framework, Czech Radio serves as the successor to the previous state-owned Czechoslovak Radio, which ceased to exist by 1992.
On May 1, 2026, Czech Radio reported that the Czech Republic faces rising inflation and slowing economic growth risks amid the stalled US-Israeli war against Iran. Previously, on April 29, the Media Committee of the Czech Chamber of Deputies stated that the stability and continuity of Czech Radio's international broadcasting should be secured through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' budget, helping preserve the country’s international communication policy. This followed Czech Radio highlighting on April 28 the official visit of Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to Azerbaijan, emphasizing that the trip aimed to boost Czech exports and secure major contracts in sectors like transport and energy. Earlier, on April 26, Culture Minister Ota Klempíř indicated that expected amendments to a draft law on public service media could alter the amounts allocated for Czech Television and Czech Radio's budgets.
