The forerunner of television in Poland should be Jan Szczepanik, called the "Polish Edison", who in 1897 patented at the British Patent Office (British patent no. 5031).Poland.

In 1929, Stefan Manczarski constructed a mechanical television apparatus based on two synchronously rotating Nipkow disks, on the transmitting and receiving sides. The television signal was transmitted via an electric cable. The device only transmitted a still image. Stefan Manczarski called his invention "a method of television transmission of images via wire and radio."

Experiments were also conducted by a team of scientists and engineers in 1931 at the Polish Radio station in Katowice. Transmitting and receiving equipment according to the JL Baird system using a Nipkow shield. Both mechanical television transmitting and receiving devices were driven by one common engine, ensuring full synchronization of both units. The signal was transmitted by cable within one laboratory. The experimental work was led by Eng. Twardawa.Excerpt from the „Radjo” magazine from 1931, cited in: Wojciech Janota „Katowice między wojnami”, p. 109, Łódź 2010, {{ISBN|978-83-7729-021-7}}.

Only later, work on launching a television station in Poland began in 1935 in Warsaw at the State Telecommunications Institute and Polish Radio. In 1937, an experimental television station began operating on the sixteenth floor of the Prudential skyscraper. Władysław Cetner became the station manager.

In 1937, an audio transmitter was installed, and at the beginning of 1938, a video transmitter. Moreover, in 1938, a 16-meter-high tower structure was built on the roof of the "skyscraper", as it was called, on which a tubular mast for an 11-meter-high transmitting antenna was mounted. The antenna was located 87 m above the ground, which ensured reception of the video signal at a distance of 20 km and audio signal 30 km from the transmitting antenna. Test television broadcasts took place on 5 October 1938 and 26 August 1939 in Warsaw with the participation of Mieczysław Fogg.{{Cite web |url = http://www.tvp.pl/o-tvp/o-tvp/podstrony/historia-tvp/167869 |title = Historia TVP |publisher = TVP S.A |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130315083531/http://www.tvp.pl/o-tvp/o-tvp/podstrony/historia-tvp/167869 |archive-date = 2013-03-15 |date = 2012-08-19}}

It was a mechanical television station broadcasting under the 120-line standard. It carried, among others: a telecine film "Barbara Radziwiłłówna" with Jadwiga Smosarska in the main role, and at that time work on 343-line electronic television was in progress. The development of research on television, which was very advanced (the launch of a permanent service was expected in 1940), was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.

Work on Polish Television was resumed in 1947. Work at the National Telecommunications Institute (later the Institute of Telecommunications) was carried out under the supervision of Janusz Groszkowski and Lesław Kędzierski. On 15 December 1951, the exhibition "Radio in the fight for peace and progress" was opened, during which trial television broadcasts with the participation of artists were shown, the daily broadcast of the television programme lasted until 20 January 1952.Jarosław Kończak „Ewolucja programowa polskiej telewizji państwowej”. In 1952 a studio was established at the Ratuszowa 11 street in Warsaw, and the first television programme team was established. The first programme was broadcast on 25 October 1952 at 7:00 p.m. (on the eve of the Sejm elections). Then, a 30-minute montage of artistic forms with the participation of Marta Nowosad, Jerzy Michotek, Witold Gruca and Jan Mroziński was broadcast from the Institute of Telecommunications, which was received on 24 Leningrad receivers located in clubs and community centres. The first announcer was Maria Rosa-Krzyżanowska.{{Cite web|url=https://www.polskieradio.pl/39/156/artykul/3059386,poczatek-telewizji-polskiej-i-nieposlednia-rola-polskiego-radia-a-wszystko-w-walce-o-pokoj-i-postep|title=Początek Telewizji Polskiej i niepoślednia rola Polskiego Radia, a wszystko "W Walce o Pokój i Postęp"|date=2022-10-25|publisher=Polskie Radio|access-date=2023-01-23|archive-url=https://archive.today/20230123013546/https://www.polskieradio.pl/39/156/artykul/3059386,poczatek-telewizji-polskiej-i-nieposlednia-rola-polskiego-radia-a-wszystko-w-walce-o-pokoj-i-postep|archive-date=2023-01-23}} Subsequent broadcasts took place on 15 November 1952 (excerpts of Lalka with Nina Andrycz in the main role were shown) and 5 December 1952 (excerpts of The King and the Actor from the Chamber Theatre in Warsaw).{{cite book |last = Szarłat |first = Aleksandra |title = Prezenterki Tele PRL |publisher = Wydawnictwo Świat Książki |year = 2015 |isbn = 978-83-8031-299-9 |page = 15}}

Three months later, on 23 January 1953, a regular broadcast of the Polish television programme was initiated (half an hour once a week). On 22 July 1954, the Experimental Television centre was launched with its own journalistic team.{{cite book |last = Szarłat |first = Aleksandra |title = Prezenterki Tele PRL |publisher = Wydawnictwo Świat Książki |year = 2015 |isbn = 978-83-8031-299-9 |page = 18}} The programme was broadcast from the former bank building at Plac Powstańców Warszawy 7, specially rebuilt and enlarged after war damage to meet the needs of the newly established institution. The centre's programme was initially broadcast once a week on Fridays, from 1 April 1955 - twice (on Tuesdays and Fridays), from 1 November 1955 - three days a week (on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays), and from 1 January 1956 - four days a week (additionally on Sundays). Exceptionally, daily broadcasts took place during the broadcast of the Peace Races and the 5th World Festival of Youth and Students in 1955.

On 30 April 1956, the Warsaw Television centre (Warszawski Ośrodek Telewizyjny){{cite book |last = Szarłat |first = Aleksandra |title = Prezenterki Tele PRL |publisher = Wydawnictwo Świat Książki |year = 2015 |isbn = 978-83-8031-299-9 |page = 20}} was opened, which provided access to TV programmes to a larger group of viewers. WOT broadcast five days a week. On 1 May 1956, the Television Transmission centre began operation with a transmitting station located in the Palace of Culture and Science and an antenna on the top of the spire at a height of 227 m. The station's range was approximately 55 km.

The real beginning of Polish Television was the creation of the Television programme Team at the Polish Radio on 1 August 1958. Two years later (2 December 1960), the "Polish Radio and Television" Committee was established. From then on, Polish Radio and TVP had equal status. The first head of the Radio Committee (a position equivalent to a minister) was Włodzimierz Sokorski (the heads of the radio and television departments had the rank of deputy ministers). On 1 February 1961, the daily broadcast of the television programme began. At the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, seven TVP regional centres were established (with their own studios) in:

• Łódź (22 July 1956) – TVP3 Łódź
• Poznań (1 May 1957) – TVP3 Poznań
• Katowice (3 December 1957) – TVP3 Katowice
• Wrocław (14 December 1962) – TVP3 Wrocław
• Gdańsk (10 August 1959) – TVP3 Gdańsk
• Szczecin (27 April 1960) – TVP3 Szczecin
• Kraków (5 June 1961) – TVP3 Kraków

On 18 July 1969, the Radio and Television centre in Warsaw was opened at Woronicza Street.{{cite book |last = Szarłat |first = Aleksandra |title = Prezenterki Tele PRL |publisher = Wydawnictwo Świat Książki |year = 2015 |isbn = 978-83-8031-299-9 |page = 84}} Large financial outlays were incurred to create it, and the technicians also managed to assemble high-class television equipment.

On 2 October 1970, the second national television network was officially launched . From the beginning of its existence, TVP2 focused mainly on cultural and entertainment programmes (including Studio 2).

The opening of Poland to the West - characteristic of Gierek's era - allowed Polish television to have access to modern technologies from the free world. The first result of the cooperation was the broadcasting of the first colour programme on 22 July 1971, using the French SECAM system - it was an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's monodrama On the Harm of Tobacco Smoking.{{Citation |title = Polska. Zarys encyklopedyczny |date = 1974 |location = Warszawa |publisher = Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe |page = 616}} Over time, it was the standard adopted in all countries (except Romania) of the Eastern Bloc. Initially, the programme was broadcast in colour once a week, from December 6, 1971, the proceedings of the PZPR congress were broadcast every day in colour{{cite book |last = Szarłat |first = Aleksandra |title = Prezenterki Tele PRL |publisher = Wydawnictwo Świat Książki |year = 2015 |isbn = 978-83-8031-299-9 |page = 83}} (the first cyclical colour broadcasts in Europe were broadcast in 1967), but due to the lack of receivers and their high cost, colour television was not available to most Polish television viewers at that time.

In 1972, after Maciej Szczepański took over the position of president of TVP, approximately 12,000 people lost their jobs at the corporation.{{cite book |last = Szarłat |first = Aleksandra |title = Prezenterki Tele PRL |publisher = Wydawnictwo Świat Książki |year = 2015 |isbn = 978-83-8031-299-9 |page = 86}}

On1 November 1975, the first terrestrial satellite communication station in Poland was put into operation in Psary-Kąty (Świętokrzyskie Mountains), which significantly expanded TVP's broadcasting capabilities.

After a long break in the creation of new television centres, on 12 January 1985, a local television branch in Lublin was established, TVP3 Lublin. On January 1, 1989, Telegazeta was established, the first teletext service in Poland.

The socio-political changes at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s also resulted in television reform. In 1987, TVP lost its monopoly on broadcasting television in Poland, when the first private Polish television station, "Ursynat", was established in the Ursynów district of Warsaw.{{Citation |author = Maciej Mazur |title = Telewizja kablowa |date = 2018-02-07 |access-date = 2020-01-26 |publisher = ursynow.org.pl |url = http://ursynow.org.pl/telewizja-kablowa/}} In 1989, another station, Sky Orunia, was established, broadcasting in Gdańsk until 1996,{{Citation |author = Piotr O |title = Sky Orunia: pierwsza, prywatna stacja telewizji |date = 2017-02-06 |access-date = 2020-01-26 |publisher = Gdańsk Strefa Prestiżu |url = https://www.gdanskstrefa.com/sky-orunia-pierwsza-prywatna-stacja-telewizji}} and on 6 February 1990, PTV Echo was established, broadcasting in Wrocław and the surrounding area until March 8, 1995,Encyklopedia Wrocławia, 2000, {{ISBN|83-7023-749-5}}, p. 169 Keyword:PTV Echo.Krótka historia PTV Echo, „Dziennik Dolnośląski” no. 27 (94), 7 February 1991, pp. 4–5. and then on 5 December 1992 Polsat started broadcasting,{{Citation |title = Polsat kończy 20 lat: Historia pierwszej komercyjnej TV w Polsce |date = 2012-12-04 |access-date = 2017-03-14 |publisher = Media2.pl |url = https://media2.pl/media/98535-Polsat-konczy-20-lat-Historia-pierwszej-komercyjnej-TV-w-Polsce.html}} which on 5 October 1993 received a licence for terrestrial broadcasting in Poland[http://archiwum.rp.pl/artykul/7178.html Koncesja dla „PolSatu”] from the National Broadcasting Council and on January 27, 1994 a license for nationwide commercial television.{{Citation |title = PolSat ma koncesję |url = http://archiwum.rp.pl/artykul/17288.html}} In the early 1990s, it was decided to completely switch from the SECAM system to the PAL system, in which the two national TVP networks adopted it (later TVP Polonia and TVP the regional stations also switched to this system). On 1 January 1993, together with Polish Radio, TVP became a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). At the same time, since the 1990s, many TVP presenters and journalists began to leave public television, moving to commercial television (including Polsat and TVN).

After 1989, TVP news programmes were accused of being subject to political influence depending on who was in power in Poland, as well as being biased and lacking objectivity.[https://encyklopedia.pwn.pl/haslo/;4575133 Polska.

The press freedom organisation Reporters Without Borders wrote in its 2019 assessment of Polish press freedom that "many blamed state-owned TV broadcaster TVP's 'hate propaganda' for Gdansk mayor Paweł Adamowicz's murder in January 2019.".{{cite web|url=https://rsf.org/en/poland|title=Poland|website=Reporters Without Borders|date=18 December 2023 }} Ahead of the 2019 European parliament elections, TVP ran 105 segments of the election of which 68 of 69 focused on the ruling party were positive and all 33 about the opposition were negative, according to a study by the Society of Journalists. Polish political scientist and anti-racism activist Rafał Pankowski stated, "I am old enough to remember Communist-controlled television in the 1980s, and I can safely say that what we have now is cruder, more primitive, and more aggressive than anything that was broadcast at that time." This contrasts with the testimonies that killer of Paweł Adamowicz was reading Gazeta Wyborcza, Dziennik Bałtycki, Polityka and Wprost{{cite web|url=https://dziennikbaltycki.pl/proces-stefana-w-ktora-telewizje-ogladal-i-jaka-prase-czytal-w-wiezieniu-stefan-w-zeznania-wspolosadzonego-wyjawiaja-kolejne/ar/c1-16517113|title=Proces Stefana W.
