The Ukrainian radio (Ukrainian: Українське радіо), also called Radio Ukraine, is the publicly funded radio broadcaster in Ukraine since 1924. In 2017 it was merged with national TV company into the country's public broadcaster Suspilne.[1] Until the creation of the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine, the National Radio Company of Ukraine was an independent company.[2] General producer of Radio Ukraine's channels since 2017 is Dmytro Khorkin.
Radio Ukraine Directorate of Suspilne is a structural subdivision of the company, which integrates four broadcasting channels, the studios of Radio House and the Recording House of Radio Ukraine, and five radio ensembles.
November 16 is celebrated as the Day of Radio, Television and Communications Workers in Ukraine in honor of the start of broadcasting of the Ukrainian Radio in 1924.[3]
Radio Ukraine broadcasts on AM, FM, satellite, cable TV-networks throughout Ukraine, the Internet and DAB+ (only in Kyiv). It also uses FM-OIRT and cable radio network, but its usage is being phased out in favour of FM, digital broadcasting and the Internet. Also it has mobile app suspilne.radio for Android and iOS.[4]
