POLSKIE RADIO:
I see that Polskie Radio's web site lists a "Serwis po ukrainsku" on Radio 3 weekdays at 10:30, 14:30 and 18:32 Polish time. First two airings are five minutes each, last one is three minutes. There is Cyrllic-like text underneath the Polish titles, so I assume this is a program aimed at Ukraine in their language. The 18:32 segment began with a couple of mentions of "service ukraine" then into another language. Male voice with numerous mentions of Ukranian president, also mentions of parliament and CNN, faint neutral electronic music in background. Mention of "service ukraine on trojka" at the end.
I don't see any similar programs listed on other Polskie Radio channels, except for a 23-minute "Wiaomosci po ukrainsku," airing at 17:07 on Polish Radio 1.
(Schedules are found at https://www.polskieradio.pl/Portal/Schedule/Schedule.aspx )
Interestingly, when you click on the Radio 1 program listing for "Wiaomosci" on the Polish Radio schedule map, a great-circle map with mV/m signal-strength contours pops up. Nice touch!
FWIW, there are still some good alternative rock music shows on Radio 3. I listened to an hour-long program of electronic music last night and appeared to be the first person to ever Shazam "Falszywy Raszyn" by Dawid Hallmann. After midnight on Radio 3 used to be fairly solid music programs for six hours, but now there's more talk programming on weeknights. There is a one-hour weeknight slot at 02:00 Polish time that usually has cool music. Late night (Polish time) on weekends is usually pretty good, too. I am disappointed that they removed their monthly "Third Side Of The Moon" show, which aired at midnight close to each full moon. It was four hours of goth-type rock (think Sisters of Mercy) or similar tracks with lush production.
RTL:
This is a minor observation, but I can confirm the absence of RTL on longwave after midnight. I tried a couple of European SDRs Sunday night to hear George Lang's two-hours-at-midnight "Saga" profiling The Eagles. No signal to be found. I searched the RTL French web site but found no mentions of longwave.
