Recent reports indicate a sharp drop in audience for TVP Info following what has been described as an unlawful take over of public media assets. The topic has drawn comment from Mariusz Błaszczak, a member of parliament representing the Law and Justice party. Sources note that initial results suggested the channel failed to attract a large audience during its early days of broadcasting after the changes.
According to reports from virtualmedia.pl, the first four days of neo TVP Info’s air time did not meet expectations in terms of viewership, with numbers signaling a clear shortfall compared to usual benchmarks.
Four days into resumed operations, TVP Info registered an average rating around 0.96 percent, a figure that has sparked discussion about audience reach and the channel’s ability to retain viewers after the restart.

Błaszczak’s response
Mariusz Błaszczak addressed the situation directly. He recalled certain actions by a former official, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, highlighting episodes where, in the view of critics, the management of public media was altered in ways that affected broadcasting and governance. The concerns raised point to conflicts between public media oversight and legal judgments, with claims that the boards of directors were dismissed and broadcasting was interrupted during the transition. These points have been cited in political discourse as contributing factors to the observed decline in viewer numbers and the broader impact on the company’s performance.
During the forthcoming parliamentary session, officials will consider a proposal related to leadership changes at the public media entities, a development that observers say could influence future programming and audience engagement.
