Radio Belgrade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio Belgrade (Радио Београд / Radio Beograd) is a state-owned and operated radio station in Belgrade, Serbia.
The predecessor of Radio Beograd, Radio Beograd-Rakovica, started its program in 1924 and was a part of a state wireless telegraph station. Radio Beograd, AD started in March 1929. Its program consists of music, news, radio-drama, broadcasting from theaters, etc.
Radio Beograd stopped its program April 6, 1941, during the German air raid which was the beginning of German military administration. During the administration, Sender Belgrad, a German operated station, continued with its program on the same frequency. After the communists seized power, a new Radio Belgrade, this time under Communist control, continued its operation and gradually became the most influential broadcast medium in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia.
As of July 2005, Radio Beograd had several different programs (First, Second, Third network, Beograd 202, Stereorama...), a precious archive of several hundreds of thousands records, magnetic tapes and CDs, and is part of Serbian State Radio and Television Network. Radio Belgrade was transformed into a public service.
