There is currently one trial running in Poland delivering a mix of DAB+ and DMB services.

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. 

Polskie Radio together with four regional public radio stations; Radio Wroclaw, Radio Gdansk, Radio Poznan and Radio dla Ciebie are hoping to plan the launch of a DAB+ public multiplex which is planned to be broadcasted in the four cities where the Euro 2012 football marches will be played (Warsaw, Wroclaw, Gdansk and Poznan).

A tender will be announced in Q1 2012 to find a network and infrastructure operator for the trial. 

In this country there is

• Local multiplex: 1 Trial

A DAB transmitter is operated in Warsaw in Block 10B. There are 5 programmes on air:

• 4 public radio's national services: Program One ("Jedynka", general programme), Program Two ("Dwojka", serious music, drama), Programme Three ("Trojka", youth channel), Radio BIS (education, sciences)
• 1 local service by the local public radio broadcaster "Radio dla Ciebie" ("Radio for you")

DLS and SLS services are being transmitted currently. 

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 were broadcast in this region.

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.
