Rádio LUMEN to launch new programming era

After 33 years of broadcasting, Rádio LUMEN is entering a new programming phase starting September 7, 2026. The station aims to modernize its format by introducing more live moderated content, new musical and sonic identities, and increased involvement from its studios in Bratislava and Košice.

Managing Director Ivo Novák stated that while the station is a strong brand, it must adapt to the rapidly changing media landscape. The restructuring follows a period of financial difficulty, and the current stability allows for a focus on development and quality.

The station will maintain its core identity as a Catholic radio station; Holy Masses and prayer segments will remain in the schedule at their current times. The goal is to provide a high-quality, contemporary listening experience that serves both religious needs and other aspects of listeners' lives. The new concept was developed in collaboration with former public radio programming director Vincent Štofaník.
