TVN (Polish pronunciation: ) (stylized in all

lowercase) is a Polish free-to-air television station, network and a media

and entertainment group in Poland. It was co-founded by Polish businessmen

Mariusz Walter, Jan Wejchert and Swiss entrepreneur Bruno Valsangiacomo. It is owned by TVN Group, which as of April 2022, is a subsidiary of [[Warner

Bros. Discovery]]. Current CEO is Katarzyna Kieli (who is also president and managing director of

TVN Warner Bros. Discovery).

TVN is available by satellite, cable television and

digital terrestrial television.

In 2004, with its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the company became a

public limited company. In March 2015, U.S. broadcaster [[Scripps Networks

Interactive]] bought a 52.7% majority stake in TVN for €584 million. In July 2015, SNI bought out TVN's remaining owners, ITI Group and

Canal+ Group, for €584 million, giving it full ownership.

On March 6, 2018, SNI was, in turn, acquired by Discovery, Inc. for US

$14.6 billion. Liberty Global, which operated pay

television provider UPC Polska, is a major shareholder in Discovery. The

European Commission thus required TVN to ensure that TVN24 and [[TVN24

BiS]] remain available to third-party television providers.

History

In March 1997, Grupa TVN obtained permission from [[Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i

Telewizji|The National Council of Radio Broadcasting and Television]] to

broadcast in central and northern parts of Poland. A few months later Grupa TVN

acquired Telewizja Wisła [pl], which had a license to broadcast in southern

Poland.

The channel was launched nationwide as TVN on 3 October 1997.{{Failed

verification|date=September 2017}} During the first four years the network was

run by its founder Mariusz Walter. In 2001 Piotr Walter became chief executive

officer, replacing his father.

In 2004 TVN was available in 86% of Polish households. Since 2004 TVN has been

listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. On 29 April 2004 TVN launched [[TVN

International]], an entertainment and news channel for Polish viewers living

abroad. In 2005 TVN acquired rights to organise and broadcast [[Sopot

International Song Festival]] until 2010, and has acquired said rights again from

2017. In 2006 TVN launched its high definition

version, TVN HD, which was the first HD television channel Poland.

TVN is a supporter of the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) initiative

that is promoting and establishing an open European standard for hybrid set-top

boxes for the reception of broadcast TV and broadband multimedia applications

with a single user interface, and conducted the first tests of HbbTV services in

Poland in March 2012.

On 16 March 2015, TVN announced a sale of a 52.7% controlling stake to the U.S.

broadcaster Scripps Networks Interactive (SNI) for €584 million, subject

to regulatory approval. In July

2015, SNI bought out the remaining owners for €584 million. SNI was, in turn, acquired by

Discovery Communications (now Discovery Inc.) for US

$14.6 billion, in a sale completed 6 March 2018.

Conflict with Law and Justice government (2021)

TVN tends to be strongly critical of the Polish government under the [[Law and

Justice]] (PiS) party, since it was sworn to power in 2015. Historian and

columnist Timothy Garton Ash, writing for The Guardian, praised [[Fakty

TVN]]'s critical coverage of government issues when harshly

criticising Telewizja Polska's Wiadomości (News).

The Facts is not [[BBC

News|BBC]]-style impartial: it clearly favours a more liberal, pro-European

Poland and is strongly anti-PiS. But unlike the so-called

News, it is still definitely professional, high quality, reality-based

journalism.

Since 2020 the conflict between TVN and

the PiS worsened, to a degree that, by July 2021, a group of PiS lawmakers,

submitted to parliament a draft amendment that would prevent companies from

outside the European Economic Area taking control of Polish radio and

television stations. This would mean that Discovery, the owner of TVN, might be

forced to divest its ownership. The [[Agreement (political

party)|Agreement]], then PiS' coalition partner, was opposed to this, they

instead proposed a change that would allow companies from countries in the

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to own more

than 49% of shares in Polish media companies, which would mean no change to the

American ownership of the channel.

However, opposition, as well as representatives from European Union and the

United States criticized the law, and international observers expressed fear

that the law is threatening press freedom in Poland. The law has been criticized for "threatening the largest ever

US investment in Poland". This also led to protests within the

country, with a number of demonstrations on 10 August.

On 11 August 2021, the bill was passed via the Sejm on a vote of 228 to 216,

with 10 abstentions, as a result, TVN's licence could expire on September

26.

On 30 August 2021, the Chairman of the National Council of Radio Broadcasting and Television sent to the TV operators

a decision to move the licence of sister channel TVN24 into the [[Warner

Bros. Discovery EMEA#Benelux|Discovery Communications Benelux B.V.]] license,

based in the Netherlands. The decision ensures the continuity of broadcasting

the TVN24 program after 26 September 2021, regardless of the results of the

ongoing conflict with Law and Justice government. On 24

September 2021 - two days before the expiration of the previous licence - TVN24

was granted a new Polish licence.

On 18 December 2021, the bill was passed via the Sejm. The Sejm voted in favor

229-212 with 11 abstentions to override the Senate's veto. Law and Justice (PiS)

party and allied opposition group Kukiz'15 voted for the bill, against was

the remaining opposition with the exception of far-right [[Confederation Liberty

and Independence|Confederation]], which abstained. The bill was vetoed by Polish

President Andrzej Duda on 27 December 2021.
