Chaos in Polish government broadcaster TVP, as their news channel, TVP Info, closed down abruptly yesterday. This came after the new government attempted to reform the broadcaster and appointed new management. The ousted party, who previously had a dominant voice on TVP, protested in their headquarters for “press freedom”.
This is the moment TVP Info went off air, airing TVP1’s break bumper before cutting to their agricultural report:
TVP1 later aired a new 7.30 news, 19:30, discontinuing the Wiadomości name used since 1989 and ran by those more critical to the previous government. This Polish article has more on the exact changes.
And the new 19:30 in full.
