TVP Info replaced
TVP3 and was launched October 2007. It has regional branches in most of the major Polish cities and, similarly to
France 3 in
France or
Rai Tre in
Italy, for a couple of hours every day it
broadcasts regional programming, including local news and reports in sixteen versions. These were transferred to the revived
TVP Regionalna (which later was renamed
TVP3 again) in September 2013. In addition, it disseminates certain programs on
YouTube, where it has the
TVP World channel. Broadcasting via
Astra 19.2°E started in 2005, but was discontinued on 31 December 2014 due to economic issues. TVP Info has been broadcast in
16:9 since 23 February 2011. Its
HD simulcast feed was launched on 30 September 2016 on digital terrestrial television and on 5 April 2017 on
Hot Bird satellite. The SD feed was closed down there on 21 April 2017. Just weeks after winning the 2015 parliamentary elections, the conservative
Law and Justice party passed a media law in December 2015 giving the government direct control over public broadcasting. It is fully controlled by Poland's government, causing
Reporters Without Borders to bemoan the fact. The first media reports about
TVP Info HD appeared in December 2014, which were confirmed in March 2015 by TVP president
Juliusz Braun. On 15 February 2016, TVP President
Jacek Kurski announced in a media interview that he planned to launch TVP Info HD. In the night of 18 to 19 July 2016, due to the planned launch of TVP Info HD on the third digital terrestrial television multiplex,
TVP Polonia was replaced. On 26 September 2016, TVP announced that the station would broadcast in HD resolution starting 30 September 2016. As per that date, TVP Info HD was available via the multiplex of the third digital terrestrial television and in cable networks. Via satellite, only the SD feed could be tuned in until 5 April 2017. On 5 April 2017 at 1:00 pm, TVP Info HD started broadcasting via satellite. According to Kurski, the channel would be set to begin broadcasting in 1080i50 in early 2018, accompanied by a change of the scenery for the main studio of TVP Info. In November 2021, an English-language channel known as
TVP World was launched, its initial date having been brought forward from January 2022 due to "the
situation on the Polish-Belarusian border, and the need to produce honest and fair reporting, especially regarding issues that feature false reporting along with propaganda disinformation from
Russia and
Belarus". The TVP President Kurski said: "Polish public television feels responsible for defending the Polish
raison d’état, which is why we hastened TVP World’s debut." The channel is simulcast on TVP Info during late nights. Later, the channel
TVP World only ran for 24 hours, since the middle of 2022. On 16 August 2024, Telewizja Polska announced it is preparing for the launch of TVP Info from a new studio and in a new setting. Tomasz Sygut announced that the TVP Info logo will also change at the same time, this will be first fully logo change after
2023 Polish public media crisis, the channel's live broadcasts will remain in the same place. The first new programs in the autumn season were launched on 9 September 2024. Changes in the logo and studio took place on 30 September 2024 and broadcast from Studio S-11, TVP Headquarters. A
YouTube stream, showing a television screen with what would be TVP Info's normal output, went live at around 14:00 CET and lasted for under half an hour before being terminated. The TVP World channel also went off air, with the broadcast being switched to that of TVP Polonia and the TVP World website redirecting users to the main TVP website; a formal suspension of operations until mid-January was announced on 27 December, with its director Filip Styczyński adding that he had been relived of his duties. The decision to take TVP Info off air was taken by Tomasz Sygut, who had been appointed as the new TVP CEO the day before. On 28 December, multiple outlets reported that TVP Info's broadcasting was to be resumed on 29 December. Programmes such as the
Minęła series of talk shows,
Forum, and
Woronicza 17 would remain part of the lineup, while programmes such as ''
that were deemed to be more politically charged would no longer be produced and would not receive direct replacements. Grzegorz Sajór confirmed that transmissions would resume at 7:30 p.m CET, concurrent with the recently introduced 19.30 news programme. The relaunched channel would indeed begin with 19.30
, followed by a guest segment in which 19.30
presenter Joanna Dunikowska-Paź interviewed Waldemar Skrzypczak in relation to how a Russian missile intended for Ukraine entered Polish airspace for some time. At 20:15 CET, Minęła 20'' was presented by who introduced viewers to the relaunched TVP Info proper and said it would now give voice to all sides and would aim to unite Poles rather than divide them. The channel initially continued to discuss the Russian missile incident, then began a discussion on public media. The first news bulletin since the relaunch began at 21:00 CET, with serving as presenter. The initial broadcast used a modified version of the previous incarnation's logo and reused visual sequences pertaining to commercial breaks and public service announcements (up to 24 January 2024, when it changed idents), but did feature a new filler sequence (and newsroom background) centered around the motif of water droplets joining up with one another to eventually form one large droplet. It did not feature
chyrons or a
news ticker, but Grzegorz Sajór said that these elements were being worked on. Just before noon on 15 January 2024, the TVP Info website and YouTube channel were restored; access to archived material was also restored where said material was not biased towards the previous Law and Justice government. Andrzej Jaszczyszyn was named as the head of the restored tvp.info service. On 19 January 2024, TVP Info's schedule was again changed, with the evening program
Publicystyka TVP Info divided into two discussion programs and the "Oko na Świat" program at 23:00 CET (since May at 22:00 CET); on the same day, they moved to a new studio, but in same place. On 22 January 2024, TVP Info regained effective control of its
