History
First attempts to start a regional station in Olomouc date to the 1920s. On January 22, 1936, Olomouc's city council asked that a regional radio station is started in the city, but the request was rejected on March 10 of the same year, stating that a single studio in Prague is sufficient.

The studio started broadcasting on January 09, 1949. Until October 1956 it was administratively directed from Brno, but it had its own air time and ability to broadcast nation-wide.
