    About

    On August 9, 2001, TVN24 became the first round-the-clock commercial news channel in Poland. The station gained immediate attention for its live coverage of the September 11 attacks just weeks after launch. This early commitment to breaking news set a tone of immediacy that defined the brand.

    The channel operates from the Media Business Centre in Warsaw and employs over 200 staff members. In November 2012, it introduced high-definition broadcasting, becoming the first in Poland and East-Central Europe to do so. This move raised production standards across the regional news landscape.

    Ownership shifted when Warner Bros. Discovery acquired the channel through its purchase of Discovery Inc. in 2018. The network serves Polish audiences domestically and internationally via platforms like Dish Network in the United States. Recent corporate discussions involving Paramount Global have sparked debates about editorial independence among press freedom advocates.
