16:19
Jacek Kurski, the CEO of public broadcaster TVP, has expressed his wish to launch Poland24, an English language channel that would present "the Polish point of view to the world."
"I would like the channel to launch on November 11, 2018 at the latest, marking the 100th anniversary of Poland's regaining of independence," Kurski said. "It would be the counterpart of Russia Today or Deutsche Welle."
Poland 24's studio is to be based in London and the broadcaster will employ Polish journalists, while foreign pundits will serve as experts.
"The channel would be targeted at a world-wide audience, it will present the Polish perspective on political and social developments. Today, a lot of information concerning Poland which is not true appears in foreign media," Kurski said.
