Radio IKS rose aut of the show Radio Gamma which was broadcasted from the Co-op Radio Station starting in 1993. The first Radio IKS program aired from RED 93.1 FM on January 28, 2006 . Beata Czekajlo , Agnieszka Weglewska , Rafal Czekajlo , Miroslaw Bachurski and Tomasz Zemojtel were the people present to support the program’s beginning.
The show Radio IKS is on air on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon (PST). The program is characterized by a comic cultural atmosphere but also tackles discussion on politics and revelant social issues (sometimes).
The close ties between Radio IKS and Program 3 of Polish Radio as well as the Great Ochestra of Christmas Charity – the fundation of Jurek Owsiak – are no secret.The program has offen welcomed to Vancouver guests such as : Piotr Kaczkowski , Piotr Baron ,Wojciech Mann ( all from Program 3) and Jurek Owsiak.
The musical antity of the show is filled with a varietyy of Polish musicians and performers. It is also not uncommon for the program to feature local artists with Polish roots.
Our project “Lokalny Saff vol.1″ was produced with the goal of promoting local music in Canada, the United States of America and Poland.
The radio program cooperately works with many local radio stations in Nort America( including Toronto and New York) as well as atations in Poland including:Radio Gdansk , Radio Olsztyn , Radio Katowice , Radio Dla Ciebie , RDN Malopolska.

KLEZMAFOUR (Poland)
The band was founded in 1999 by five alumni of The Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, Poland. The band’s artistic inspiration is the history of their own city exploring the historical integration of a past Jewish population with music originating in the Jewish tradition and the Balkan culture, along with their own compositions.
