The Voice of America radio station started its Polish-language broadcasts 70 years ago today.
Its last Polish-language programme was aired on 27 February 2004. Alongside the Munich-based Radio Free Europe, Voice of America served as an important source of uncensored information for Poles during the communist period.
For many years, Voice of America was associated not only with politics. One of its legendary figures was jazz broadcaster Willis Conover. His programmes, which featured interviews with the likes of Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Benny Goodman, attracted tens of thousands of listeners in Poland.
