History
edit
Regional broadcasting for Prague was launched by Czechoslovak Radio on 31 August 1964. On 2 January 1991, the Prague and Central Bohemia studios merged under the name Regina. In 2001, Regina launched a separate broadcast for the Central Bohemian Region, which became completely independent on 21 October 2002 under the name ČRo Region.[1]
On 2 November 2015, the Regina station was renamed Regina DAB Praha and left the analogue VHF band. The programme changed significantly - the demanding programmes disappeared from the airwaves and the distinctive feature became music and live moderated inputs with service information (news, weather, transport, culture).[2] Another name change took place on 1 October 2019, when the station changed its name to Český rozhlas Rádio DAB Praha.
Since 2 January 2023, the station has been called simply Radio Praha. According to Czech Radio, the new name was intended to attract new listeners in the target group of 25-40 years old, for whom the name Regina was unattractive. The change was also accompanied by a change in the station's sound graphics and the names of some programmes.[3][4]
