Recommendations for Polish news radio stations?

Hello,

I am looking for recommendations for Polish radio stations that focus on the news rather than music that I could listen to online.

I'm a Polish native but have lived in the US for so long that I wanted to start keeping up again with whats going on in the country, and also want to improve my vocabulary.

Ive been listening to Polskie Radio 24, but again its been so long that I dont know what are and arent good radio stations.

Thanks in advance!

Tok FM perhaps.

Yup, it's the only Polish station I know that focuses almost exclusively on news and journalism.

I also like that it's much less Warsaw-centric than most media. When they invite some experts it's from Warsaw Universities like 50% of the time, when in most other media it's 99% of the time someone from Warsaw.

It has slight "leftist" bias, compared to mainstrem right-wing bias in most media it's much more socialy liberal.

Itsn't slight, it's pretty much leftist radio, except Mr Wrobel.

Mainstream media and right-wing bias? You clearly don't speak about TV. I would say, only the Internet (especially social ones. fb etc.) media is right-wing.

Slight leftist? Just "leftist"

Would be considered neutral in UK or France. In Poland it's extreme left-wing.

IT's funny considering that there is no real right-wing in Poland (ok, maybe it's started rising recently) and that in the "West" there is much more of even more left-wing politicians... I mean, where's the right wing? Even right-wing is more leftist than ever.

Perhaps TOK FM. Interesting talkshows/coverages/interviews on Polskie Radio Czwórka, however its mixed with music (50-50).

If you want to know what's up then I suggest listening to a few radio/tv stations since I don't believe in bullshit they say. I mean, sometimes lies or manipulations are so obvious it just hurts.

People have already suggested Tok FM - My opinion on them is they're good if you want to listen to talks but not if you want to know the truth. I can't say all of them lie but people like Wielowieyska effectively make me not like that station.

I can't suggest radio stations but why don't you listen to or watch TV stations? There are a few dedicated purely to news and presenting absolutely different view on the same matters which IMO makes it easier to also see how they manipulate.

Yes I know I mention maniupulation a lot.

Initially i didnt consider tv because i thought radio would be easier to have on in the background while Im working, and because id have to stream it online somehow, but i think ill give it a shot too. Thanks!
