Radio Latvia is a culture-orientated company and it is the largest programme producer in Latvia, supporting its Radio Theatre, Radio Chorus, and children’s vocal group. The sound archives hold about 300 000 items. Since January 1, 1993, Radio Latvia is Active Member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Radio Latvia One is a national programme service in Latvian. It offers world news, information and analyses of Latvian politics, social life, economy, and culture, supplemented by a choice of children’s programmes, fiction and drama, religious programmes, serious music and light music, and introduces the audience to the treasures of our legacy.

LR 2 is a programme service based on Latvian pop music. Its sources can be traced back to 1995, when it was decided to establish a entertainment channel for youth under the auspices of Radio Latvia. Since January 1, 2002 LR 2 extended its programming to 24 hours per day, and is now a real full-time service. The remit of this programme service is to broadcast the best that has been produced by the country.

Klasika is the only serious music channel in Latvia. Only Klasika offers Latvian original music and pieces from the unique Latvian Radio archive that have been recorded by Latvian musicians. And only Klasika will play the newest recordings that are being produced and recorded at our in-house studios and concert halls throughout Latvia on a regular basis. Partnership within EBU permits Klasika not only to benefit from unique concerts and live transmissions made available from abroad, but also to offer our contributions to the world.

The Dome Square is our integration programme service broadcasting in Russian and in the languages of other linguistic minorities who live in our country. The channel offers information and analyses of Latvian politics, social life, economy, and culture, focuses on music and youth. At 3 PM you are welcome to a dedicated infotainment show: the best Russian and foreign pop-songs, as well as bulletins of current news four times an hour.
