Summary/Abstract: Defining the terms „radio and „television broadcasting” in the digital age, can be problematic. Digitization , convergence and divergence of media, creates the need to revise the concepts of „broadcasting”, „radio” and „television”. All of these concerns stem from the fact that the concepts referred to above were created in other technological reality. However, these terms still exist in the legal language (especially in the Polish Constitution), but they seem somewhat anachronistic against the new media technology. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concepts of radio and television in the digital age and to propose a change in this matter.
