Slovenský rozhlas (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈslɔʋenskiː ˈrɔzɦlas]; "Slovak Radio") or SRo was a state-owned nationwide public-service radio broadcasterinSlovakia. It was headquartered in Bratislava in a building shaped like an inverted pyramid, which currently serves as RTVS radio's headquarters.
SRo began broadcasting from Bratislava, then in Czechoslovakia, twice per week on 3 August 1926 and then daily from 2 October 1926.[1] The broadcaster also managed the Slovak Radio Children's Choir, founded in 1953, and the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (SOSR), founded in 1929 as the Czechoslovak Radio Symphony Orchestra.
As a means to improve the finances of the state-owned public television broadcaster Slovenská televízia (Slovak Television), on 1 January 2011 SRo merged with Slovenská televízia to create Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska (Radio and Television of Slovakia).[2]
SRo was a full member of the European Broadcasting Union between 1993 and 2011.
When merged with Slovenská televízia in 2011, SRo operated nine radio channels, all of which were continued as a part of Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska.[3]
