wPolsce24

wPolsce24 (originally wPolsce.pl) is a Polish news and current-affairs television channel that began broadcasting on 19 June 2017 under the name wPolsce.pl. It is owned by Fratria, the media group associated with the conservative Polish weekly and news portal wPolityce.pl. The channel's editorial line is information and publicist programming, with a schedule built around news bulletins, morning shows, political talk formats and investigative reports. From 22 December 2017 the station became available on the Polsat Box satellite platform, and it later joined operators including Play, Netia, Vectra, T-Mobile Magenta TV and selected cable networks. It began carrying advertising on 1 February 2018. A live stream of the channel has been available on YouTube since a channel created on 5 May 2017, and from 5 March 2019 the station has been available in 4K quality. Its audience share remained small — in 2023 it stood at 0.03% in the 4+ group. A major turning point came in 2024. On 21 June 2024 the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) granted wPolsce.pl and Telewizja Republika licences to broadcast on the eighth multiplex of Poland's digital terrestrial television. Test transmission on the multiplex began on 26 July 2024, and on 23 August 2024 the station announced on its social media profiles that terrestrial broadcasting would start on 2 September 2024. On that date, in line with the terrestrial licence requirements, the channel changed its name from wPolsce.pl to wPolsce24. In September 2024 the KRRiT also approved the name change for the existing satellite and cable licence at the broadcaster's request. The website address changed to wPolsce24.tv, with the former wPolsce.pl address redirecting to the new one, and in October 2024 the station's website was transformed into a news portal. The terrestrial licence was subsequently challenged in court. On 9 April 2025 the Voivodeship Administrative Court (WSA) annulled the KRRiT decision granting the eighth-multiplex licence, following an appeal filed on 7 July 2024 by the MWE Networks media group and its subsidiary Polskie Wolne Media P.S.A., whose competing bid had been rejected. On 24 June 2025 the KRRiT filed a cassation appeal against the WSA ruling with the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA). Editorially, Agata Rowińska served as editor-in-chief from 2017 to 2024, and Jacek Karnowski took over the role in 2024. The channel's programming has included formats such as "Wiadomości", "Dzień wPolsce24", "Salon dziennikarski", "Bez cenzury", "Mówią Jak Jest" and "Salon polityczny Magdaleny Ogórek", alongside earlier programmes from the wPolsce.pl era such as "Polska z pasją", "Przegląd tygodnia braci Karnowskich" and "W centrum wydarzeń". The brand is closely linked to the wPolityce.pl news portal and is often compared with Telewizja Republika as part of Poland's conservative-leaning television segment.

The channel now known as wPolsce24 was launched on 19 June 2017 under the name wPolsce.pl. It was established within the Fratria media group, the publisher associated with the conservative news portal wPolityce.pl, and it positioned itself as an information and publicist television service. Agata Rowińska was its editor-in-chief from 2017 to 2024. Distribution expanded quickly in the early years. From 22 December 2017 the station was available on the Polsat Box satellite platform. It subsequently joined operators including Play, Netia, Vectra, T-Mobile Magenta TV and selected cable networks. Advertising began on 1 February 2018. The station also maintained a live stream of its television signal on YouTube, on a channel that had existed since 5 May 2017. From 5 March 2019 the station became available in 4K quality. Despite this distribution growth, its audience remained niche: in 2023 its market share was 0.03% in the 4+ group. The decisive change came in 2024 with the move into digital terrestrial television. On 21 June 2024 the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) granted wPolsce.pl and Telewizja Republika licences to broadcast on the eighth multiplex of Poland's DTT system. Test transmission on the multiplex started on 26 July 2024. On 23 August 2024 the station announced on its official social media profiles that terrestrial broadcasting would begin on 2 September 2024. On that date, in accordance with the terrestrial licence requirements, the channel changed its name from wPolsce.pl to wPolsce24. In September 2024 the KRRiT also approved the name change for the existing satellite and cable licence at the broadcaster's request. The website address was changed to wPolsce24.tv, and the former wPolsce.pl address was redirected to the new one. In October 2024 the station's website was transformed into an internet news portal. The terrestrial licence then became the subject of litigation. On 9 April 2025 the Voivodeship Administrative Court (WSA) annulled the KRRiT decision granting the eighth-multiplex licence. The ruling followed an appeal filed on 7 July 2024 by the MWE Networks media group and its subsidiary Polskie Wolne Media P.S.A., whose own bid had been rejected in the same licensing procedure. On 24 June 2025 the KRRiT filed a cassation appeal against the WSA judgment with the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA). Editorially, Jacek Karnowski took over as editor-in-chief in 2024. The channel's schedule has combined news bulletins such as "Wiadomości" and "Dzień wPolsce24" with political talk formats including "Salon dziennikarski", "Bez cenzury", "Mówią Jak Jest" and "Salon polityczny Magdaleny Ogórek", as well as investigative reports and documentary blocks. Earlier, in the wPolsce.pl era, programmes included "Polska z pasją", "Przegląd tygodnia braci Karnowskich", "W centrum wydarzeń" and "Wieczór bez cenzury". The brand is closely associated with wPolityce.pl and is frequently discussed alongside Telewizja Republika in the context of Poland's conservative-leaning television segment.
