There are currently two trials running in Poland delivering a mix of DAB+ and DMB services.

In May 2009, public broadcaster Radio Wroclaw and infrastructure provider Emitel launched a DAB+ and DMB trial multiplex in the Wroclaw area.  This is the biggest city in south west Poland with a population of around 640,000.  Eight audio channels broadcasting both public and commercial stations in DAB+ and one mobile TV channel in DMB are available in this region.

In the capital, Warsaw, Emitel operates a multiplex broadcasting 12 audio services using DAB+ and one mobile TV service using DMB.  It reaches 2.5 million people and airs a combination of public and commercial stations.   This trial multiplex launched in November 2009. 

In this country there is

There are two regulators for broadcasting media in Poland.  The National Broadcasting Council manages and issues licences, while the Office of Electronic Communications governs the frequency spectrum.  The two bodies work closely together.
