HGTV to Roll Out in Poland

KNOXVILLE: Scripps Networks Interactive’s cable net HGTV is set to launch in Poland in January 2017.

HGTV will be added to the channel portfolio of TVN in Poland, which is wholly owned by Scripps Networks. In addition to hit international programming, HGTV will air new local formats featuring the Polish star Dorota Szelągowska.

HGTV is currently available in more than 30 countries in North America and Asia. Poland is the first European market to introduce HGTV. It will air on the channel previously known as TVN Meteo Active.

“We’re confident the people of Poland will love the inspirational and aspirational offerings of HGTV that have made it such an entertainment powerhouse in America,” said Jim Samples, the president of international for Scripps Networks Interactive. “HGTV is sure to be another crowning jewel in TVN’s already stellar lineup of informational and lifestyle channels.”
