2023
Shutdown during the public-media governance dispute
TVP Info's off-air period beginning on 20 December 2023 occurred amid a major dispute over the legality, management and editorial direction of Poland's public broadcasters. The interruption and subsequent relaunch made the channel a central symbol of the country's public-media transition.
2015
Political control of public broadcasting
After the Law and Justice party's 2015 election victory, legislation adopted in December gave the government direct control over public-broadcasting management. TVP Info subsequently became a focus of criticism from media-freedom organizations and commentators who argued that its editorial output was politically aligned and insufficiently independent.
