[edit] History
Polskie Radio has been founded on 18 August 1925. Regular broadcasting from 18 April 1926. From 1931 broadcast from one of the strongest stations in Europe in Raszyn (1939 destroyed by German army). After the Second World War Polskie Radio was as a part of the broadcasting body Polskie Radio i Telewizja (PRT - Polish Radio and Television) admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union in 1992.
