Zoom TV

Zoom TV is a Polish television channel associated with a mixed programming model built around local television, digital-media journalism, and acquired entertainment content. It launched on 25 October 2016 and initially operated as a free-to-air terrestrial channel in Poland. Rather than relying exclusively on a conventional national broadcaster model, its schedule incorporated programs prepared by local cable television stations connected with the Polish Chamber of Electronic Communications (PIKE), alongside magazine programs developed for the Onet.pl web portal. This structure gave the channel a combination of locally oriented reporting, internet-native current-affairs content, and broadly accessible entertainment. The channel's programming covered several genres. Its magazine and public-affairs output included Bliżej! Magazyn reporterów, a reporters' program presented by Elżbieta Grzeszczuk-Chętko and Dariusz Milejczak; Obywatel Kuźniar, a talk show hosted by Jarosław Kuźniar; Subiektywny, a current-affairs program hosted by Bartosz Węglarczyk; and Na czasie, a business and high-technology program hosted by Łukasz Grass. This content reflected the channel's links with both regional cable operators and the Onet editorial environment. Zoom TV also scheduled acquired series and general entertainment. Listed series included Weeds, Those Who Kill, Ezel, and Pippi Longstocking. Documentary and reality programming included Hoarders, My Crazy Ex, and Best in Bridal. Its entertainment slate included Miło/ść, a relationship-oriented talk show hosted by Piotr Najsztub, and Świat według Jachimka, a satirical program hosted by Tomasz Jachimek. The resulting offer positioned Zoom TV as a general-interest channel rather than a narrowly specialized service. The channel remained available through Poland's digital terrestrial television system until 29 December 2025, when it left Polish digital terrestrial broadcasting. In September 2025, it reportedly obtained an additional Spanish broadcasting licence from Spain's Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia. On 11 March 2026, Poland's National Broadcasting Council reportedly revoked the Polish licence. The service then reportedly moved fully to the Spanish licence on 1 May 2026 and changed its on-air name to Zoom. Because these later licensing and branding developments are future-dated relative to some reference material and the channel's current operating status is not independently established here, they should be treated as requiring verification.

Zoom TV entered the Polish television market on 25 October 2016. Its concept combined several sources of programming rather than presenting itself solely as a traditional national network. A significant part of the schedule came from local cable television stations associated with the Polish Chamber of Electronic Communications. This supplied a regional and community-oriented dimension, while programs produced for the Onet.pl web portal added a digital-news and online-media perspective. The channel's programming developed across general-interest categories. In current affairs and magazine programming, it carried Bliżej! Magazyn reporterów, presented by Elżbieta Grzeszczuk-Chętko and Dariusz Milejczak, as well as Obywatel Kuźniar, Subiektywny, and Na czasie. These programs addressed reporting, public discussion, current affairs, business, and technology. Their association with known journalists and the Onet environment helped distinguish the channel's editorial offering from a schedule made up only of imported entertainment. Alongside locally produced and digitally connected formats, Zoom TV programmed acquired series, films, documentaries, and reality television. Its listed series included Weeds, Those Who Kill, Ezel, and Pippi Longstocking. Documentary and reality offerings included Hoarders, My Crazy Ex, and Best in Bridal. Entertainment formats included the relationship talk show Miło/ść, hosted by Piotr Najsztub, and the satirical program Świat według Jachimka, hosted by Tomasz Jachimek. This mixture made the channel a broad general-entertainment service with news, lifestyle, scripted, factual, and comedic content. Zoom TV was distributed as a free-to-air terrestrial service in Poland for much of its existence. According to the supplied reference material, it left the Polish digital terrestrial television network on 29 December 2025. A subsequent regulatory and licensing transition was also reported: in September 2025 the channel obtained an additional Spanish licence from Spain's Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia; on 11 March 2026 the Polish National Broadcasting Council reportedly revoked its Polish licence; and on 1 May 2026 the service reportedly moved entirely to the Spanish licence and changed its name to Zoom. These later developments are retained as reported events, but the channel's present legal and operational status needs further confirmation.
