Criticism


In late 2010s, TVP has been criticized for becoming unduly biased towards the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. In 2018, The Economist noted: "the [TVP] anchors... praise PiS slavishly while branding its critics treacherous crypto-communists.[3]



International cooperation


TVP has an agreement with the BBC, under which they will work together on film and television productions.[4]


The French-German TV liberal arts network ARTE cancelled a 15-year cooperation with TVP,[5] when it learned in February 2009 that TVP's general director, Piotr Farfał, was a member of the League of Polish Families, which opposed Arte’s "philosophy based on intercultural exchange"[6] and "the party that TVP's chairman is presently connected with does not share European values".[7] It was again cancelled in January 2016 after an amendment of the media law in Poland, which caused fears of a lack of pluralism and independence of TVP.[8]

  • 1992–2003: Green letter T, red V, blue P, and the word TELEWIZJA POLSKA S.A. and three stripes: red, green and blue. In addition to letters three lines.
