4Fun.tv is a free-to-air 24-hour Polish languagemusic video channel launched on February 14, 2004.
On November 27, 2003,Nova Communications (later4fun Media) signed a satellite transmission agreement with Canal+ Sp. z o.o. for the upcoming music channel. On February 14, 2004, 4fun.tv began broadcasting tests, and the licence for satellite broadcasting of the channel was granted to the broadcaster byKrajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji on May 14, 2004.[1] For some time in 2012, the videos broadcast on 4fun.tv and on the sister channelRBL.TV were broadcast onPuls 2.[2]
The channel presents mainly music videos, music programs, interactive programs in Dolby Digital Plus audio transmission and compression standard. In 2013, 4Fun Media created a 4Fun App for its audiences - a second screen application that allows access to additional content, quizzes and live contact with audiences.
Since December 19, 2013, 4fun.tv has been broadcasting on local multiplexes as part ofdigital terrestrial television.[3]
In 2016, the satellite operatorEutelsat awarded the station with an award in the category of theBest Musical Channel. 4fun.tv was the only award-winning Polish station in theEutelsat TV Awards 2016 competition.
In 2007, theKrajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji expressed reservations about programmes which may depress and adversely affect the moral and mental development of young people broadcast during a protected period (6 a.m. - 2 p.m.) and without proper designation (programmes only for persons over 18 years of age). The station ignored the Broadcasting Council's warnings and therefore threatened to withdraw the licence of the station, and consequently close and end the channel broadcasting.[4]
