Pirate Waves : Polish Private Radio Broadcasting in the Period of Transformation 1989-1995, Hardback Book

Pirate Waves : Polish Private Radio Broadcasting in the Period of Transformation 1989-1995 Hardback

Part of the Studies in communication and politics series

Hardback

Description

This book reveals the value and significance of pirate radio, with a special focus on local radio stations that broadcast illegally in Poland in the early 90s.

It shows that many of them, like in other countries from the region, began as non-commercial, community-oriented initiatives.

Several sources of information were used to maximize the potential of the study, especially documents gathered from public institutions, press articles, interviews with radio representatives, and decision-makers who influenced the shape of the broadcasting system.

The analysis of these sources supports the conclusion that, although the pirates left a lasting legacy, they lost out in the licensed regime driven by market logic.
