Is there anything culturally significant about Silesia, or something else that makes it stand out from the rest of Poland?
Generally speaking only subdevisions are made when there is a cultural reason to do so, e.g. Catalonia and Basque Country from Spain, as they have their own languages; or the different areas in Germany, as radio is a mostly state-affair instead of national (there are just two FM stations available nationwide). Is there a similar reason why you want to give this part of Poland a special status?

Yes, they have a little bit different language and these radio stations have programs in their local language

Also Silesia have their own songs like for ex. "Biesiady Śląskie" which are very often on these radio stations.

I will look into it.

Just to be clear: this does not mean that it will be added - I am just not that well-versed on Silesia. I look at them on a case-by-case basis: if it is more like e.g. Brabant or Limburg in the Netherlands, then it will not be added. If it is like Catalonia in Spain, or Scotland in the United Kingdom, then it will be added.
