The Arlington Heights radio tower that formerly broadcast “Chicago’s Progressive Talk” now broadcasts in Polish from 5:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. The station began broadcasting Polish music format — apparently dance and pop music on June 2, 2014. The station is branded Polski FM. There are some English language songs aired on the station, such “Around the World” by the Disco Boys.

The station still airs the popular Dance Factory FM Dance Hits format station from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. which is a dance club format, including electronic, dance, and house music with DJ mixes.
Although the POLSKI FM station debuted on June 2, 2014, the official website polski.fm claims (or anticipates) over million Poles and Polish-Americans between the ages of fifteen and seventy-five (will) listen to the radio station on POLSKI FM 92.7 and 99.9 FM.
