History

TVP1 was launched as of 25 October 1952 as TVP. The tests resumed in the immediate post-war years and materialized in October 1952 with the launch of the first experimental broadcasts of Polish television. In January 1953, it broadcasts at the rate of half an hour per week, then an hour and a half in March. The schedule of programmes continued to grow and the broadcast time increased to 22 hours per week in 1957, 26 hours in 1958.

Regional studios were added to those in Szczecin and Warsaw in 1956. These were first those of Łódź, Katowice (1957), Poznań (1958) and Gdańsk (1960). Some emblematic programs were born at the end of the 1950s, such as "Telewizyjny Kurier Warszawski" (Warsaw TV News) or the cultural magazine "Pegaz".

TP1 became TVP1 in March 1992. On 31 August, the first breakfast television programme premiered, Kawa czy herbata? (Coffee or Tea?), which would be on the air until 2013.[2]

An HD feed was launched in January 2011 as a test broadcast. On 1 June 2012, TVP1 HD was officially launched, in anticipation for its coverage of the UEFA Euro 2012, which was held in Poland and Ukraine.[3] On 30 August 2013, TVP1 stopped airing Wieczorynka before the evening news, because the average age of a viewer was that of a pensioner. Moreover, TVP had launched TVP ABC two years earlier, to serve that function.[4]
