Telewizja Szczecin was launched in 1960 after a four-year period of television experiments in the region, and in 1965 it was connected to the national TVP network, serving largely as its regional opt-out. In 1992, it relaunched as a standalone channel named Kanał 7, and shifted its focus to Latin American telenovelas and Western documentary programmes, in addition to its own productions. At the same time, TVP created its own opt-out channel for the region named TV Szczecin.[1] In 2002–03, TVP3 Szczecin was launched on the former Kanał 7 frequencies as part of the regional TVP3 network.[2]
Idents and interval signals edit
From 1960 until 1992, Telewizja Szczecin's ident was a static photo of a fragment of the Port of Szczecin taken from the Elewator Ewa. The photo was credited to Witold Chromiński (1913–1977). Its interval signal, still in use in modified form as of 2024, consisted of a music theme created by composer Stanisław Modelski (1934-2015), by playing on two French horns with the agile humming of ship sirens.[3]
