Český rozhlas Vltava (in 1992-2013 Czech Radio 3 - Vltava) is the former third programme of Czech Radio with a focus on culture[2] (now styled simply as ČRo Vltava). It was founded in 1972 and operated by Czechoslovak Radio until the end of 1991. Jaroslava Haladová has been the station's editor-in-chief since 2019.[3]

The programme structure is dominated by programmes featuring older and contemporary classical music (around 40% of the airtime on weekdays). Jazz and alternative music (Jazzový podvečer, Jazzové dopoledne, Mozaika), literary programmes (readings, radio plays) and cultural journalism (Mozaika, Akcent) are also significantly represented - all with around 15% of the airtime. The station broadcasts 24 hours a day.
