Radio Prague considering using longwave for English & German
 

Radio Prague may carry its programmes in English and German on longwave in
the future. In answer to a listener's question on Sunday's Mailbox
programme, Radio Prague Director Miroslav Krupicka said: "It is not reality
at this moment but we are considering going on longwave in English and
German. It's a longwave that is used by a domestic channel of Czech Radio,
Czech Radio 1 - Radiozurnal, which broadcasts on the FM network and on
longwave [270 kHz, 750 kW]. We are in talks with this station to give us a
certain space on longwave in order for us to be heard beyond the border of
the Czech Republic in, say, Germany, Austria and Poland because longwave
travels further than medium wave, for instance, or FM, so we would be heard
in Central and Eastern Europe on longwave quite well. Of course, this is an
addition to shortwave broadcasting. We are always on shortwave, we will stay
on shortwave, but in addition we are looking for tools in order to be heard
both in the Czech Republic and in Central Europe. In the Czech Republic we
are currently on FM in Prague in English, this is a service for tourists,
people visiting the Czech Republic, businessmen and so on. It's quite
appreciated by the audience from what I have heard. And to expand on
longwave would be quite nice, so we are working on it, but it is not yet
reality."
