TVP Nauka is a Polish science television channel owned by TVP, which started broadcasting on 3 October 2022. The channel has an educational character.
History The channel logo was registered at the Polish Patent Office on 17 September 2021 and began its run as an internet platform on TVP's website the following month. Robert Szaj was appointed as channel director, due for a 2022 launch. The channel would air educational programs and documentaries with emphasis on the history of science and other scientific content.
On 12 August 2022, the channel started test broadcasts on the Night of the Perseids from the Truszczyny Astronomic Observatory.
Since 2024, TVP planned to close the channel and merge it, alongside TVP Historia and TVP Dokument into a new channel, TVP Wiedza, but this requires approval from the National Broadcasting Council.
