What TBN Polska does

TBN Polska is the Polish-language arm of the global Trinity Broadcasting Network, operating as a non-profit Christian television station from its headquarters in Gdynia, Poland, under the legal entity Fundacja Trinity Broadcasting Network Polska (KRS 0000531843). The foundation employs approximately nine people and delivers a 24/7 broadcast channel combining licensed international content from the global TBN network (programming from Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, and 'The Chosen') with an expanding slate of original Polish productions covering teaching, worship music, women's programming, children's content, and a weekly news magazine ('Perspektywy. Z daleka i z bliska') produced by the News Express editorial team founded in 2022. Distribution relies on free-to-air carriage across at least eight Polish cable operators (Orange, Vectra, MultiMedia, Play, UPC, Toya, Inea, T-Mobile), satellite/IPTV, and the TBNGO.pl streaming platform accessible on smart TVs, computers, and smartphones.

The underlying technology stack is conventional broadcast and web infrastructure: professional video production using Sony ILME-FX6 cameras and supporting equipment, the TBNGO.pl streaming platform, embedded YouTube/Vimeo players for video distribution, and standard CMS-based web delivery. The organization does not operate proprietary AI systems; integrations are limited to Przelewy24 and PayPal for payments, plus Google Analytics and Google AdWords for traffic measurement. In June 2026, the foundation received an official Polish broadcasting license from KRRiT (Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji), transitioning from prior reliance on foreign UK and Spanish licenses.

TBN Polska's business model is characteristic of a faith-based non-profit broadcaster: revenue is generated through viewer donations (one-time and recurring), Poland's 1.5% tax donation program, corporate sponsorship (managed via media agency Media-Vibes), merchandise sales, and periodic government grants — most notably a 200,000 PLN award from the PROO 2018-2030 program supporting the newsroom from June 2024 to December 2025. Audience engagement extends beyond broadcast through the annual 'Razem dla prawdy, wiary i nadziei' conference at the Gdynia 3City Media Hub, active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and YouTube, and a Klub Widza viewer club. Pricing is freemium from the viewer perspective; sponsorship packages are customized and quote-based. The primary customer segments are Christian families and individual viewers seeking Polish-language faith-based content, values-driven businesses seeking sponsorship alignment, and government/nonprofit partners supporting civic media development.
