Today sees the first broadcasts of Radio Euro, which takes over from the now defunct Radio BiS. Radio Euro is the first fully multimedia radio station run by public broadcaster Polskie Radio.
Polskie Radio Euro is to include more news services, including sports bulletins. The station also offers information on the upcoming Euro 2008 championships and ongoing preparation in Poland for the Euro 2012 football championships to be held in Poland and the Ukraine.
The station went online today at 0600, with its new breakfast show ‘Po bandzie’, hosted by Witold Odrobina, a known radio journalist who has previously worked for RMF FM and AntyRadio. Radio Euro offers new services, including a new website, which is to include podcasts and provides a webcam for listeners to see what’s going on live in the station’s studio.
Many programmes have adopted a new format, although one show has been rolled over from Radio BIS, being Bis Up, a show that concentrates on popular culture and foreign languages.
The station’s website includes audio, radio, and society portals for listeners to interact with the station. Polskie Radio Euro has taken over frequencies once used by Radio BIS, and can be found at www.polskieradioeuro .
