Polsat News 2 (formerly TV Biznes, Polsat Biznes and Polsat News +) is a Polish publicist-information television channel. It complements the main sister channel Polsat News, with in-depth commentary. It broadcasts programs devoted to national, foreign, political, economic and cultural events.
History
The channel was created in September 2004 as TV Biznes. The founder and owner of TV Biznes was Professor Piotr Chomczyński and Piotr Barełkowski. On February 8, 2007, Telewizja Polsat became the owner of the channel. On February 18, 2013, TV Biznes was renamed Polsat Biznes.
On 9 June 2014 at 10 am, the channel was relaunched as Polsat News +. The plus sign was saved in the same way as in the Plus mobile logo, having the same owner as Polsat. However, on 31 July 2014, the name was changed to Polsat News 2 following a lawsuit filed by Polsat with ITI Neovision, the owner of the competing nc+ platform.[1] Since ITI Neovision has the plus sign (taken from its main shareholder Canal+) all its own channels, the District Court has decided to secure the suit for the duration of the ongoing process by ordering Polsat to change its name. In November 2014, the Court of Appeal reviewed Polsat's appeal and overturned the previous decision, allowing the channel to be restored to its current name. Polsat has not yet decided on a possible renaming of the channel.[2] In December 2014 the District Court in Warsaw issued a judgment which dismissed the suit nc+ in its entirety, but the verdict is not legally binding.[3] However, the Court has forbidden the platform to use the "+" symbol in the name of the channel Polsat News + and the programme + Kultura. In addition to the prohibition, the court ordered the TV station falsity to announce that it can not use the + sign in its channels.
On 30 August 2021, the channel adopted a new logo, as a part of corporate-wide rebranding of Grupa Polsat Plus.
