Polskie Radio Kraków

Setting itself apart from many contemporary stations, Polskie Radio Kraków holds a distinguished position in the Polish broadcasting landscape as the second regional public radio station established in the country. Launched on February 15, 1927, the station quickly became a cornerstone of regional life, notably with the first live transmission of the Hejnał (St. Mary's Trumpet Call) from St. Mary's Tower on April 16, 1927, a daily tradition it continues to this day. Throughout its history, the broadcaster has been recognized for its innovative spirit, including one of Poland's first live football match transmissions in 1929. Serving the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, it provides comprehensive coverage of local, national, and international news, alongside a rich array of public affairs, cultural, and sports programming. Listeners can tune in on its primary frequency of 101.6 MHz in Kraków, with additional frequencies securing broad reach across the region, including Tarnów (101.0 MHz) and Zakopane (100.0 MHz). The station complements its diverse music selection with dedicated segments for literature, reportages, and radio plays, actively collaborating with local cultural institutions to enrich its offerings, such as through its "Radiowy Klub Książki" initiative.
