Listeners in Andrychów, Poland, can tune into a new station starting in August. Radio Bounce, which recently entered the market, has officially joined the local DAB+ digital multiplex there. This step in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship is part of the operator's broader strategy to rapidly densify its terrestrial digital broadcasting network in key regions of Poland.
Expansion into Other Polish Cities
The new station is not stopping at its current expansion. The schedule for the near future includes launching broadcasts in other locations in the south of the country. In the coming days, the Radio Bounce program will appear for the first time in digital multiplexes in Bielsko-Biała and Gliwice, significantly strengthening its presence in the Silesian Voivodeship.
Radio Bounce launched its broadcasting in July and has since continuously expanded its availability in DAB+ digital networks.
This dynamic expansion builds upon the coverage the station has established during its first weeks of existence. From the outset, the operator focused on the largest Polish agglomerations and industrial centers, where the penetration of digital receivers is highest. Before entering Andrychów, broadcasting was available in the wider areas of Warsaw, Poznań, Kraków, and Katowice.
Technological Background and Operator
The project is backed by the company Bounce, which is based in Suwałki. Although the operator focuses on building terrestrial infrastructure, it employs a multi-channel approach to content distribution to reach the widest possible spectrum of listeners, regardless of their technical equipment or current location.
In addition to standard DAB+ digital broadcasting, the station uses these distribution channels:
Online streaming — broadcasting is available live via internet connection.
Other platforms — the program is also distributed through unspecified additional digital services.
Terrestrial networks — primary distribution via multiplexes in a total of seven Polish cities.
Radio Bounce itself commenced operations in July 2026. The speed with which it appears in new locations indicates an ambitious plan to become a significant player in digital radio broadcasting in Poland. The transition to DAB+ technology is a long-term trend in the country, allowing stations to broadcast in higher quality and with lower operating costs for transmitters compared to older FM networks.
The station's operator is Bounce, a company based in Suwałki, which relies on a combination of terrestrial signal and the internet.
Impact on Listeners and Future
The expansion into Andrychów and the planned entry into Bielsko-Biała and Gliwice mean that the station will be available to hundreds of thousands of new potential listeners in the southern part of Poland. For residents of these regions, this brings a wider program offering within their digital receivers, which automatically scan available DAB+ networks.
While the current phase of expansion focuses on southern and central Poland, information about possible further expansion into northern regions or the area of the company's headquarters in Suwałki has not yet been released. The key milestone now remains a successful debut in the announced multiplexes within the coming days, which will complete the current wave of terrestrial coverage expansion.
