The history of Czechoslovak radio is inseparably intertwined with the beginnings of television, which belonged under the organizational structure of the radio until 1957. While trial TV broadcasts only began in 1953, viewers were able to come into con-tact with television cameras five years earlier during the International Radio Exhibition (Mevro), where two cameramen filmed the  events in front of Prague’s Exhibition Palace. The two media definitively went their separate ways in 1959 with the dissolution of the Committee for Radio and Television, which had jointly managed both entities for two years.
