Slovenský rozhlas (, ) or SRo was a state-owned nationwide public-service radio broadcaster in Slovakia. It was headquartered in Bratislava in a building shaped like an inverted pyramid, which currently serves as STVR radio's headquarters.
History SRo began broadcasting from Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Initially broadcast twice per week on 3 August 1926, it began to broadcast daily from 2 October 1926. The broadcaster also managed the Slovak Radio Children's Choir founded in 1953 and Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (SOSR) founded in 1929, the latter then-known as Czechoslovak Radio Symphony Orchestra.
