story

The first radio broadcast in 1925

The first radio broadcast was broadcast in Poland on February 1, 1925 by "Polskie Towarzystwo Radiotechniczne" (German: Polish Radiotechnical Society ) on the wavelength of 385 m from Warsaw . It was a test broadcast and a technical experiment at the same time. On August 18, 1925, the "Polskie Radio was Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością " (German: Polish Radio GmbH ) Zygmunt Chamiec and Tadeusz Sułowski founded. The Polish Broadcasting Corporation had exclusive broadcasting rights in Poland.

"Halo, halo! Polskie Radio, Warszawa, fale 480 “( Hello, Hello! This is Polish Radio, Warsaw, wavelength 480 ) were the first words with which Polskie Radio began its regular broadcasting on April 18, 1926.

1926-1939

In the following years, other Polish radio stations started in the cities: Krakow , Katowice , Vilnius , Lemberg , Toruń , Baranowicze . The Polskie Radio company also took over Radio Poznańskie ( Poznan Radio ) - the 1925 sub-concessionist.

In 1929 Polskie Radio received the second, modified broadcasting license for 20 years, which also recommended the construction of a new transmitter that could be heard across Poland. This recommendation was fulfilled as early as May 1931. In May 1931, a new, 120  kW strong (at that time a high output) and 200 meter high transmitter was built in Łazy near Raszyn , at that time the highest transmission mast in Europe . One transmitted on the wavelength 1111 meters.

In the 1930s, Poland started producing its own radio receivers . Radio was very popular and modern at the time, and accordingly magically attracted great writers , musicians , conductors , actors and other artists . Personalities such as Jan Parandowski , Zenon Kosidowski , Jerzy Szaniawski , Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz , Maria Dąbrowska , Maria Kuncewiczowa , Grzegorz Fitelberg , Zdzisław Górzyński , Stefan Jaracz , Aleksander Zelwerowicz and many others could be heard on the radio.

The transmitter in Raszyn was destroyed in the first days of September 1939, and as a replacement transmitter, Warszawa II began broadcasting on September 7, 1939 . The station "Warszawa II" sent air raid warnings, world news and speeches by the Warsaw City President Stefan Starzyński to the population.

On September 30, 1939, the German occupiers took over both transmitters “Warsaw I” (Raszyn, LW 224 kHz, 120 kW) and “Warsaw II” (Mokotow, MW 1384 kHz, 2 kW) for the Großdeutscher Rundfunk and ordered the confiscation of all Polish ones Radio receiver on.

Radio station in Poland in 1956

On November 20, 1944, Polskie Radio was converted into a state-owned company under Soviet occupation. The first post-war years were devoted to rebuilding the infrastructure . In 1948 Polskie Radio was in "Centralny Urząd Radiofonii" (German: Zentrales Rundfunkamt ), later in "Komitet ds. Radiofonii “(German: Rundfunkkomitee) renamed.

On October 3, 1949, the second nationwide radio program was started.

In September 1957, one of the first institutions of this kind (worldwide) was the experimental studio for electronic sound processing, which worked for radio, TV, film and composers.

The 3rd program started on March 1, 1958.

In July 1961 it was broadcast in stereo for the first time .

In 1974 a 646 meter high and 2000 kW strong transmission mast was erected in Konstantynów , at that time the largest transmission mast in the world. Thanks to this transmitter mast, the range increased enormously and you could hear Polskie Radio all over Europe , in North Africa and almost everywhere in the Soviet Union . In the 1970s one returned to the form of broadcast live broadcast. The programs “Lato z Radiem” ( Summer with the radio ) (from 1971), “Sygnały Dnia” (daily signals , from 1973) and “Cztery Pory Roku” ( Four Seasons ), which were launched at that time, are still broadcast in a similar form today.

The 4th program started on January 2, 1976.

Radio and television were reorganized on December 29, 1992, and 19 new companies emerged from the state-owned Radiotelewizja Polska (RTVP): Telewizja Polska SA, Polskie Radio SA and 17 regional companies.

On March 23, 2012, the Polish radio announced the end of its international shortwave broadcasts. The services will be continued, but since then they can only be heard online via the World Radio Network and via satellite, as well as via an app for iPhone and Android . The programs are also available as podcasts. The programs can also be heard in German twice a day via the TuneIn Radio app, which runs on all systems.
