Val 202

What Val 202 does

Val 202 is the second national radio program (II. program Radia Slovenija) operated by RTV Slovenija, Slovenia's state-owned public broadcaster. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Ljubljana, it serves a broad Slovenian-language audience with general-interest programming spanning news and current affairs, sports, culture, music, science, mobility, and international perspectives. Core content is organized around flagship shows including Aktualno 202 (daily news), Jutro 202 (morning interviews), Šport 202 (sports), Petkova centrifuga (weekly commentary), Nedeljski gost (Sunday interviews), and Globalna vas (diaspora), alongside vertically specialized podcasts such as 254,5 (ski jumping with Cene Prevc), Tour 202 (cycling), and Žoga je okrogla (football).

The platform's technical foundation is conventional broadcast and digital-audio distribution. Linear programming is delivered over national FM frequencies, complemented by live streaming and on-demand access via the val202.rtvslo.si website and the RTV 365 mobile application (iOS and Android). Podcasts are syndicated across major third-party platforms — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Android, and RSS — enabling global access for Slovenian expatriates and broader diaspora audiences. Cross-promotion and shared infrastructure are provided by RTV Slovenija's broader radio network (Prvi, Ars, Radio Si, Radio Maribor, Radio Koper, Radio Capodistria, MMR) and TV channels. The product portfolio comprises roughly 17 named on-demand programs in addition to live broadcast output.

Val 202 operates as a non-commercial public-service entity funded through the Slovenian RTV subscription fee (RTV-prispevek) administered by RTV Slovenija, with supplemental advertising revenue at the parent level. Programming is free to listeners across all distribution channels. No direct pricing, revenue, or unit-economic figures are disclosed for the program specifically; it does not sell to identifiable commercial customers and serves the general Slovenian public as a single undifferentiated audience segment.
