The article describes a study of systems of values contained in radio shows concerning historical subjects intended for school pupils in Poland. Radio programmes from four time periods at intervals from the early 1950s until the early 1980s were examined. The results show, firstly, that such programmes do exhibit patterns of support for certain values of relevance to the contemporary society and that each period is distinctive in the particular combination of values emphasized. There is change and development in the general direction of more ambiguity and less clear structure, compared to the explicitness of values during the first period studied.
