Kolektiv RadioKolektiv Radio

Kolektiv runs an open room in Prizren that unlocks on Wednesdays and Fridays for jam sessions, listening nights and screenings; in December 2023 the NGO behind it put a station on air to carry the same thing further than the room could. Anyone can host: you send a show description and a handful of artists you would play, and a taken pitch gets a six-month cycle. A second channel, KR2, runs beside it, and in September the two spent four days broadcasting from the former Prishtina prison.

The grid is built by mood rather than clock. Cold Trax opens the night on coldwave, Tension By Station holds two until five with rock'n'roll and punk you will not hear elsewhere, Music For Cats takes the dawn, Avant Jazz the early morning and The Rhythmic View the funk before noon, with three hours of world music after it. No Wave Me, Tropicália Block and ShehrReggae fill the rest.
