Sport journalism and sport broadcast have faced many challenges throughout history. The first attempt to broadcast a sports event on radio and bring it to people's homes happened exactly 100 years ago. Despite the rise of television and social media, radio sport broadcasting is still represented. The second channel of Radio Slovenia, Val 202, is in charge of live radio sport broadcasting in Slovenia. In the master's thesis we focus on the analysis of sports radio broadcasting on public radiotelevision (RTV), discuss the specifics of sport audiences, determine which expressions are used by sport commentators and which guidelines lead them while choosing the expressions. In the first, theoretical part of the thesis, we focus on the role of public RTV, which has to take care of the preservation of the slovenian language and audience education. On the basis of this, we are interested in finding out how is the choice of sport commentators' expressions influenced by the assumption of the specifics of the sports audience. We discuss the terms, jargon, determinologized expressions and general expressions. We try to answer the questions by analyzing the texts of two radio broadcasts and semi-structured interviews, in which sports commentator and a lecturer on public radio share their opinions. Based on a critical discussion, we find out how difficult is the work done by sport commentators on radio Val 202. At the same time we try to reveal how commentators find themselves among all formal requirements of public service broadcasting on the one hand and assumptions about sport audiences on the other.
