Polskie Radio Program I, known also as PR1 or radiowa Jedynka is a radio channel broadcast by the Polish public broadcaster, Polskie Radio. It is dedicated to information and easy listening music. Some of its broadcasts have decades-old traditions and are quite famous, such as Matysiakowie and W Jezioranach.

History

Program I began test transmissions on 1 February 1925, and began regular transmissions on 18 April 1926 (as Polskie Radio Warszawa), one year after Polskie Radio was founded.

In 1924 the Post, Telegraph, and Telephone Act was passed, and in February of the following year, a broadcasting station built already in Poland started operation.{{Cite web|title="Future of the Public Service Radio in the Media Society: Polish Experience."|first=J.W.|last=Adamowski|date=2013|access-date=2024-10-24|url=https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/49663686/NewMediaEra_M-libre.pdf?1476713567=&response-content-disposition=inline%3B+filename%3DSocial_Media_in_Time_of_Crisis.pdf&Expires=1729780842&Signature=IlwLnCS65lZ6ympcJrX~LwSzqgb0~Xirsn5cZS6kXQySjhrCI4c6qNWdHBLJ~HJ-tEg1kMrtIXE0sFVFpcLuHOlsPgYKAjcnYBkg~wFqQ2ijZbnVR-GE8qsn4ewVPhb-P3da5spYydGjXMqaSRkSs0ba0b4dGmAupw3bx~867k854oDRhqBcyWiVCIhXR9SMzHXcUrG1pVHN5-aqIy~JZkoU-1uG9Lgb~sB~gVfZuDNHGnwlv4~rzKFKwFnhsVLI~ZLdjr3UbHS32ADBr~daT0gJ56zrmD6VNg6DKEAOjw~zVO0UL-7Pz4sPdldNz8QHKEXgrW90o9CyK4A64QSiRw__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA#page=199}} Several months later (18 August), a privately owned company Polish Radio received a license for broadcasting a radio program. In 1935, the Polish government bought 96% of its shares and so the radio became the property of the state.{{sfn|Habielski}}
