Radio Gdańsk

What Radio Gdańsk does

Radio Gdańsk (legal name: Polskie Radio Regionalna Rozgłośnia w Gdańsku "Radio Gdańsk" S.A.) is a regional public radio broadcaster headquartered at al. Grunwaldzka 18 in Gdańsk, Poland, founded in 1945 and operating continuously for 81 years. The station is part of the Polskie Radio national public-broadcasting network and serves listeners across the Pomerania Voivodeship, including the Tricity metropolitan area (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot), Słupsk, Kościerzyna, and surrounding regions. Management oversight currently includes a Likwidator (liquidator) alongside a Program and Development Director and an Operational Director, reflecting ongoing organizational restructuring within Poland's public media system.

The product portfolio centers on traditional FM radio broadcasting across five regional frequencies (103.7 MHz in Tricity, 102 MHz in Słupsk, 91.1 MHz in Lębork, 106 MHz in Kwidzyn, and 107 MHz in Człuchów/Bytów/Chojnice), supplemented by DAB+ digital broadcasting, live online streaming, a news and entertainment website at radiogdansk.pl, and specialty podcasts (Gość Radia Gdańsk, Strefa Komentarzy, Jestem z Pomorza). The station operates a dedicated Kashubian-language internet channel, Kaszubskie Radio Gdańsk (active since October 2012), and offers B2B audio production services through RG Studio (Studios S-3, S-4 Kameralne, and M-1 Masteringowe). Distribution is supported by a multi-channel digital presence across Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X/Twitter, and a contributor blog platform.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining state appropriations and commercial advertising. Radio Gdańsk receives targeted subsidies (celowa dotacja) from Poland's Ministry of Culture and National Heritage pursuant to Article 31.2 of the Radio and Television Act, as well as funding flows from the Polskie Radio network. This is supplemented by advertising revenue from radio spot sales, sponsorships, and sponsored content on the station's website. The company operates from three locations: its Gdańsk headquarters and regional studios in Słupsk (ul. Starzyńskiego 1) and Kościerzyna (ul. Długa 31). There is no disclosed revenue, no private equity or venture funding, and no publicly traded equity; ownership is tied to Poland's public-broadcasting framework.
