TVN, one of Poland’s leading broadcasters, may soon change ownership. Owned by Warner Bros. Discovery for years, the network has significantly influenced Polish politics and society. Reports suggest the company has engaged JPMorgan to advise on a possible sale, fueling public speculation and concern over the network’s future direction.
Employee Reassurance Amid Uncertainty
In a letter to staff, Katarzyna Kieli, president of TVN Warner Bros. Discovery in Poland, acknowledged the potential sale. She reassured employees that ownership changes have occurred before, with the network emerging stronger each time. Kieli emphasized TVN’s enduring commitment to journalistic independence and its foundational values, promising unity during this uncertain phase.
According to Reuters, Warner Bros. Discovery has initiated the sale process, with JPMorgan contacting potential buyers. Sales materials are expected early next year. Meanwhile, a mysterious tweet on platform X suggested that Fox might acquire TVN, adding another layer of intrigue.
TVN’s fate remains uncertain, but the promise to prioritize its independent status could shape future ownership decisions. Observers and employees alike will be closely monitoring the next developments.
