The terrestrial range of the station includes part of the city of Chicago and the closest suburbs. Its first editor-in-chief was Maciej Wierzyński , later editor-in-chief of New York 's Nowy Dziennik . Currently (2007), the general manager of the station is Agnieszka Pokropek, and Elżbieta Sawczuk is responsible for the program.
