Pop by day, jazz and campfire songs by night.
It started on 18 May 1959 as a wired radio node inside a single hall of residence, and it is still in that building — the third hall on al. Politechniki. Under censorship its working method was joke, subtext and allusion, and by the early seventies it had 102 people on the books. It became Studenckie Radio Żak in 1974. When the occupation strike began at the Łódź polytechnic on 21 January 1981, the station turned into the information centre, its editors shuttling between the two striking universities.
The grid is built from blocks the station labels by genre: alternatywa at midnight, jazz after one, pop and elektronika through the day, and piosenka turystyczna — hiking and student song — back at midnight. Blues Po Zachodzie Słońca takes eight in the evening. Co-founding the YAPA song festival in 1974 left it one of Poland's largest archives of that repertoire.
Older than most of its records.
