The Polish public broadcaster TVP has confirmed plans to launch a new parliamentary channel. Local reports indicate that the project will be overseen by Slawomir Siwek, a member of TVP’s board and currently responsible for the satellite channel TVP Polonia and TVP3/regional services. The start up costs of TVP Parlament should be minimal compared to those of other TVP thematic channels, and it will air not only Polish but EU parliamentary proceedings. Further details, including a possible launch date, should be available this autumn.
