On October 1, 2012 the station moved into a new broadcasting media centre, «QazMedia Ortalygy», in Astana.
The basic concept of radio «Shalkar» is the preservation and development of the spiritual heritage of the Kazakh people.
When the management of "Kazakh Radio" was preparing to open a new channel, they thought about the name and what to call it.
Thus, the management of "Kazakh Radio" did not object and opened a new channel, which will have a beautiful and very bright name.
Its thematic focus includes informational, analytical, literary, musical, historical and educational programs.
