TVN Meteo was a Polish channel dedicated exclusively toweather forecasts, it launched on May 10, 2003.[1] It was part of the TVN network and is owned by TVN Group. Its programmes aere prepared by the same weather team that presents the forecasts for TVN Meteo's sister channelTVN 24 and the group's flagship channel,TVN. It was available on most Polishcable networks.
Executives of TVN Meteo: Agnieszka Górniakowska, Agnieszka Cegielska, Maja Popielarska, Omenaa Mensah, Bartłomiej Jędrzejak, Tomasz Zubilewicz, Dorota Gardias and Hubert Radzikowski.
TVN Meteo began broadcasting on 10 May 2003. The program included mainly thematic weather forecasts. Over the time, programmes on health, animals, plants and weather anomalies were also added to the programming.
Since March 2, 2009, the channel has been broadcasting in the16:9 format.
From 1 August 2009 to the end of 2012,esoteric bands produced byKosmica TV were present on TVN Meteo. From February 2013 to 2015, after a month without esoteric broadcasts,Ezo TV broadcasts came into this place. From 2016, the afternoon esoteric band was replaced by the teleshopping bandTelezakupy Mango, and at night, the esoteric programKlub Magii produced byPolcast Television.
On 20 June 2011, thetvnmeteo.pl weather portal was launched. However, the official launch date was 21 June 2011. In July 2011, TVN Meteo also started broadcasting documentary programmes. From the very beginning, the station broadcast 24 hours a day.
In October 2014, two new channels were announced:TVN Fabuła, a series and film channel, andTVN Sportive[2][3] dedicated tohealth,fitness andphysical activity. In December 2014, the broadcaster applied to theKrajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji to suspend the concession procedure forTVN Sportive.[4] However, the broadcaster did not resign from the project, but it was decided to transform the weather channel into a lifestyle and sports channel under the nameTVN Meteo Active. The decision was explained by the partial exhaustion of the channel's formula and falling viewing figures.[5]
On 16 April 2015, the station underwent a rebranding and changed its name toTVN Meteo Active and received a new logo. The station combined earlier broadcast weather services with new programmes such as sports, healthy lifestyle and eating, fitness and leisure activities.[6][7] However, weather forecasts were mainly issued during the night hours.
TheTVN Meteo brand as a separate project was not abandoned. A separate portalTVNmeteo.pl with current weather forecast, weather information and social networking sites remained online.[8]
In 2016, TVN announced the rebranding ofTVN Meteo Active, which on 7 January 2017 was transformed intoHGTV, a channel dedicated tointerior design andgardening.[9]
TVN Meteo Active was shut down on 7 January 2017. However, the broadcaster returned to TVN Meteo and a live web TV broadcast was launched, focusing entirely on the presentation ofweather forecasts.[10]
