Special Radio Prague marks 75 years on air
Benjamin Kuras
Set up in 1936 primarily as a tool to counter propaganda from Nazi Germany
and the Soviet Union, Radio Prague itself long served as a mouthpiece for
communist propaganda. Since the 1990s however, the station is the only
Czech public news service, providing information about the Czech Republic
in six languages to audiences around the world. Marking Radio Prague’s
75th anniversary, the Czech-born, UK-based writer, and former Radio Prague
reporter Benjamin Kuras and Radio Prague’s own David Vaughan discuss the
most interesting moments in the station’s history.
