Until now, sports broadcasts were broadcast on TVP1 at 7:25 p.m., just before “Wiadomości”. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the “One of Ten” game show aired until 7:30 p.m. A viewer who posted an email sent to the public sender didn’t like it.
– I noticed disturbing movements on the main channel TVP1. For the third consecutive day, the sports department is off schedule. It looks like its liquidation under TVP1. The largest and most important national channels, namely Polsat and TVN, have one in their offer. The sports website broadcast even in previous years after the main edition of “Wiadomości” had viewership records. I would opt for the service to come back after “News”. You may have decided that since there is TVP Sport and “Sports Evening”, there is no need to broadcast the sports service as part of the main antenna – wrote Andrzej Zabawa in a letter to TVP.
I calm down. Sport resumes tomorrow. In recent days, due to extended 1z10 endgames, we had to quit info. sports before 7:30 p.m. We regularly inform you about successes in TVP Info, TVP Sport, Wiad. Panorama and Téléexpressie. Today we invite you to TVP1 for the LM game.

The sports department is expected to return on Thursday
A netizen shared an email to TVP on Twitter. He pointed out that TVP viewers could be deprived of news from the sports world if the situation were to reoccur. – I would like to point out that “Soirée Sportive” is broadcast at irregular times and not every day due to sports broadcasts. For example, today, i.e. October 12, 2022, the program “Sports Evening” will not be broadcast, which means that the viewer of Polish television today will not know what is on. spent in sports. Moreover, on the same principle one could conclude that since there is TVP Info, it is possible to eliminate the information services diffused on the main antennas. Sounds absurd? The same situation is with sports, many people less involved in sports could learn about the successes of Polish sportsmen – wrote Zabawa.

– These people are unlikely to wait until 11:00 p.m. or later for service on a dedicated sports antenna. Whole generations have grown up on this site, including my humble self. I ask you to rethink your on-air activities and consider the arguments I have presented. I hope that Polish television will answer it. I await your response – added the viewer TVP.
Krystian Kuczkowski commented on the entry, for more than a year program director of TVP. – Calm down. Sport resumes tomorrow. In recent days, due to the last extended episodes of “One of Ten”, we had to give up sports news before 7:30 p.m. We regularly inform you about successes in TVP Info, TVP Sport, “Wiadomości”, “Panorama” and “Teleexpress”. Today I invite you to TVP1 for the Champions League match – wrote Kuczkowski.
