History[edit]

Radio «Shalkar» is a structural unit of Kazakh Radio, which broadcasts only in the state language. It has a history of specialised radio for more than 40 years. To date, the station has been broadcasting 18 hours a day.

The basic concept of radio «Shalkar» is the preservation and development of the spiritual heritage of the Kazakh people.

There is an interesting historical fact about how it got the name "Shalkar". A young specialist who graduated from the Kazakh Pedagogical Institute, Faculty of Journalism, joins the team of "Kazakh Radio", which is just being opened. That young professional was the writer Keneszhan Shalkarov, a member of the Writers' Union of Kazakhstan. When the management of "Kazakh Radio" was preparing to open a new channel, they thought about the name and what to call it. Then, young specialist K. Shalkarov expressed his proposal. He thought about the name "SHALKAR". Thus, the management of "Kazakh Radio" did not object and opened a new channel, which will have a beautiful and very bright name.

Its thematic focus includes informational, analytical, literary, musical, historical and educational programs.

Since April 2009, radio «Shalkar» has been broadcast in a new format. Programs have become more dynamic and focused primarily on the younger generation of listeners.
