Polish Radio External Service produces broadcasts in five languages: English, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish. Each language section covers the most important political, economic and business news in Poland, as well as cultural events, both local and abroad. Polish Radio External Service broadcasts 24 hours a day, with a schedule including premier and repeat programming.

The plans drawn up by Polish Radio External Service are based on current Polish affairs, the key objectives maintained by the country’s foreign policy as well as Poland’s policy regarding the Polish diaspora and Poles living abroad, as defined by the foreign minister’s annual policy statement. Our target groups are made up primarily of opinion leaders, decision makers, politicians and high level officials, journalists and business people. We also target our broadcasts to the business community in the BRICS countries, where a growing group of investors and analysts are interested in the Polish market.

All language sections report on the world of business and the stock exchange, the development of Polish economic cooperation with other countries, and we also comment on current economic events, interviews with entrepreneurs and present the latest economic analysis. The following sections broadcast the following business and finance programmes: English Section – “Central Europe Today” and “Balance” (Thursday 10:30 and 20:00) Belarus Section – “Polish Economic Pulse” (Tuesday 15:30) Russian Section – “My Small Business” and "Economy First” (Tuesday 19:30) Ukraine Section – “Business and Economy” (Wednesday 17:00) and "Economy” (everyday at 17:00)
