Initially Darik Radio was broadcast from the capital Sofia and was heard only by a small fraction of the population. It quickly gained popularity due to its focus on news. In 1994 the radio started a scheme to become the first private radio station in Bulgaria. In the years that followed, Darik Radio opened numerous offices in other cites and covered the nation with its transmitters. The story of Darik Radio is one of success. After bitter legal fights with other competing radio stations Darik Radio achieved its ultimate goal - it was licensed as the first private national radio in Bulgaria and it stays so to this day. The project cost nearly $1,000,000. The radio is available online and via ntelsat satellite.
The radio has news bulletins every half hour.
