MEDIA & EUROPE

In an effort to answer the needs of Warsaw's foreigners as well as help Poles learning foreign languages, some Polish television and radio stations have launched news programs in English.Although not many stations decided to provide the service, existing programs are fairly professional and well executed. Most foreigners tune in to the BBC's World Service on the radio or watch BBC or CNN by satellite or cable television. Still, music played on Radio PiN seems appealing enough that few switch to another radio station, even if they understand little Polish. TVN24, the 24h television news channel, launched Erica Oley's 6:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. TVN24 News. This is a new concept in Polish media.
