Polish radio will broadcast programs by the U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe in response to increased public interest in the Western radio station, the state-run news agency PAP said. The purpose of the broadcasts is “to enable Polish listeners to form their own opinion on the character of Radio Free Europe and the kind of transmissions (it has),” PAP said. Jamming of Polish-language broadcasts of Radio Free Europe, Voice of America and the British Broadcasting Corp. ended Jan. 1. The action was accompanied by an increased Polish media campaign against the stations, particularly Radio Free Europe, which currently broadcast uncensored news and commentary to Poland.
