"Idol" is a television show on the Polish television network Polsat, based on the popular British show "Pop Idol". The show is a contest to determine the best young singer in Poland. It is hosted by Maciej Rock.

In the show, people first audition but eventually the performers are narrowed down to 10 finalists, with each contestant performing live. There are four judges who provide critiques of each competitor's performance, they are:
*Kuba Wojewódzki, late night TV host, radio DJ, music journalist.
*Elżbieta Zapendowska, representative of local talent firm and theatrical producer.
*Robert Leszczyński, radio DJ.
*Jacek Cygan, famous Polish songwriter.

Viewers have two hours following the broadcast of the show to vote via telephone and SMS for their favorite contestant. On the night's results episode, the contestant with the fewest votes is sent home.
The winners of Idol were Alicja Janosz in season one, Krzysztof Zalewski in season two, Monika Brodka in season three & Maciek Silski in season four.
Although never being officially cancelled, a fifth season has been delayed several times so far.
