The building of the Czech Radio is under reconstruction

The building of the Czech Radio is a protected cultural heritage. It was open in 1933 and it has always served as a Czech (or Czechoslovak) Radio. Now it’s going to be completely reconstructed.

The first phase of the reconstruction was realized in 2004 – 2005, the second one that starts these days should take two or three years. The aim of the reconstruction is to create a radio building complex bordered by street Vinohradska, Balbinova and Rimska.

Almost all of the 400 employees have already left the building. The last people should abandon the building in the middle of September. The reconstruction will cost more than 500 million Czech crowns, one tenth of the sum will be subsidized by the state.
