Radio

Radio broadcasts were listened (daily or almost daily) by 56 percent listeners or about 66 percent daily and 90 percent “last week”. Private Rádio Expres was the market leader, followed closely by the public radio first channel Rádio Slovensko, followed with some distance by Fun rádio and two other private stations. In other words, the radio market was more diverse than the television market. However, if we look at PSM radio as a group, then PSM radio stations had a 41 percent share.

Politically, Fun rádio is owned by Boris Kollár, MP, current head of political party Sme rodina (We are family). This new political party can be seen as a protest anti-establishment party. Sme rodina was established shortly before the parliament elections held in early 2016. Moreover, B. Kollár is the sole owner of Fun Media Group a.s. This group is the exclusive media representative of ten regional radio channels (with about a third of market shares in the target group) and runs some web portals too.
