Wenedyk Radio Warsina
History
Wenedyk Radio S.A. – One of the oldest broadcasting corporations in the world and the oldest in the RTC. The first experimental program was broadcast 1 January 1925 by Wenedyk Radio – Komyńtać Technicze (Venedic Radio – Technique Companionship) on length of ½ mile. The frequent broadcasting was started 18 April 1926 by words “Halo, halo Wenedyk Radio Warsina, węda ¾” (Halo, halo Venedic Radio Warsina, wave ¾). During interwar period Venedic Radio S.A (then ltd.) had opened 10 local transmitters including Raszynik (90 kW) and started creating a second transmitter in Warsina (Warsina II) and experimental TV transmitter on “Prydzięciały” corporation sky draper (the highest building in prewar Europe and the first arc welding in the world). In the beginning of GWII the German army had destroyed the Raszynik transmitter but shortly after “Warsine II” started to broadcast till 30 October when Germans took over the transmitter and banned listening to the radio, threatening with capital punishment. Wenedyk Radio went to underground and the Venedic section of BBC started to broadcast weekly (later daily) program in the Wenedyk language. After the war, Wenedyk Radio ltd. was recreated as Wenedyk Radio S.A. and incorporated Lietuvos Radijas S.A, thus becoming the major media for most RTC citizens even today.
Programs
Before the GWII there was only one program broadcasting from Warsina with some local shows like the famous “Węda Czytacie Leoniór”. After war and rebirth of RTC the establishment of local radio stations became more flexible in the multinational state. Today there are 30 local state radio stations incorporated with Wenedyk Radio S.A and Lietuvos Radijas S.A broadcasting in 8 languages (Wenedyk, Ukrainian, Ruthenian, Kashubian, Slezan, Slvanjek, Prussian and Low Saxon) and 4 pan–state channels broadcasting mostly in Venedic.
- Venedic Radio channel I or Venedic Radio Warsine I (ordinary “Wynika”) – The oldest channel, supposed to be successor of prewar Wenedyk Radio, holding same sometimes archaic stale, main source of information for most of Veneds.

Every Sunday there is special interview with RTC’s chancellor about state condition. Yearly during the summer holydays time the usual daily “Sygnała dzeju” program is transformed to “Stać piara Radiu” (Summer with Radio).
