About Us

Our musical output is a truly eclectic mix of Jazz covering all genres and designed to generate listening hours throughout the day and build reputation at night and throughout the weekend by offering a substantial amount of specialist programming.

Czech Radio Jazz broadcasts 24 hours a day digitally (DAB, DVB-T, DVB-S) and on the Internet. It has a distinctive European focus, which makes it quite unique and well recognizable in the vast majority of jazz radio stations.

Namely it means: • About 20% of Czech jazz, 40% of other European jazz and 30-40% of American jazz in the whole broadcasting time.

• The program cannot be circumvented without American jazz (if only because American artists may be more recognizable for the audience), but the ratio would mean that the European jazz would have been on the same level as American jazz in the broadcasting time.

• The ratio may of course vary depending on the situation, or set up differently depending on the part of the day.

• The proportion of Czech jazz is fully adequate to its promotion abroad.

The European character of the radio is also reflected in the thematic blocks. For example, the European Wave hour presents jazz from various European countries at a specific time (every day at 12:00).

Czech Radio Jazz is a member of the European Broadcasting Union. Thanks to this membership we can broadcast exclusive live recordings from various countries in our Jazz Club music show.
