The first radio broadcast in Poland happened on 1 February 1925 and the industry is still alive today.
After Warsaw, the radio was launched in Kraków on 15 February 1927, in Poznań on 29 April, in Katowice on 4 December, in Vilnius in 1928, and in L'viv and Łódź[6] in 1930.
[7] During the German occupation of Poland, radios were confiscated from citizens in order to stop them from listening to anti-Nazi broadcasts.
[6] They were also used to spread propaganda, with stations in Gdańsk, Toruń, Poznań, Katowice, Warsaw, Kraków, Szczecin and Wrocław.
[6][10] In the following years, many other popular stations were opened, such as Złote Przeboje, Eska and Radio Maryja.
