Eska Rock (often stylized as Eska ROCK) is a Polish radio channel broadcast by Grupa Radiowa Time. The station plays mainly modern rock, indie rock and alternative rock, from "classic" rock songs, to the newest "hits".

Eska Rock started broadcasting in Poznań on 22 November 2004, in Łódź and Warsaw on 5 September 2005 and in Kraków on 20 March 2006.^[2] From 2 June 2008 to 1 December 2013, Eska Rock broadcast in 18 Polish cities. On 2 December 2013, the frequencies on which Eska Rock broadcast were switched with the frequencies of another station owned by Grupa Radiowa Time, VOX FM. Since then until 2 July 2024, Eska Rock was broadcast only in Warsaw at 93.3 MHz.^[3] On 27 March 2024 Eska Rock's owner acquired its competitor Muzo.fm from Telewizja Polsat and requested KRRiT to change its name to Eska ROCK and at the same time to rename the station broadcasting locally in Warsaw to Eska ROCK Warszawa. On 2 July 2024 Muzo.fm was shut down with Eska Rock taking its place.^[4]

Eska Rock headquarters were located in Primate's Palace, Warsaw, until in 2010 the station moved to 10, Jubilerska Street in Warsaw.
