In the Czech Republic, Country Radio has to stop broadcasting on the medium wave frequency 639 kHz after about a year and a half.
This will happen on March 31.
In 2023, the radio station received two of the old AM frequencies from the public broadcaster ?Ro, which switched off its AM transmitters on January 1, 2022.
The transmitter in Liblice (near ?eské Brod) uses the impressive twin antenna masts of 355 meters, the tallest construction in the Czech Republic (photo: Wikipedia ).
Although the power of Country Radio was about 30 times smaller than the public broadcaster's previous one, it still provided a decent AM coverage in Prague and Central Bohemia.
According to the German radiomuseum.org, the city of ?eské Brod has already issued a demolition permit for the masts.
Country Radio will continue to broadcast on the other medium wave transmitter in ?eské Bud?jovice (954 kHz), for parts of South Bohemia.
