Based in Warsaw, Polish Radio’s mission is to inform the world and the Polish diaspora of the most important developments in Poland and to put the Polish perspective on international issues, front and center. Broadcasting in five languages including Polish, Russian, English, Ukrainian and Belarusian, Polish Radio’s programing features national and international news, Polish foreign policy, the economy, business and foreign investment, as well as scientific and cultural achievements.
News from Poland in English broadcasts daily at 2:00 p.m. Central European Time (8:00 p.m. US-Eastern Standard Time) covering news, press reviews, and interviews with leading experts on contemporary topics.
