The first programme of TVP Poznań was broadcast on May 1, 1957. At that time, it could be viewed on just 100 receivers registered in the city. Initially, the station broadcast three times a week. All cultural, sports, news, feature and popular science programmes were created on the spot. However, those intended for the nationwide audience, due to lack of connections, were broadcast for the first two years from Łódź. Filmmakers, performers and all technical facilities were transported there by bus.

In 1959, the first, makeshift radio connection began operating, allowing to include the station in the nationwide television stations network and receive programmes from abroad. In 1966, TVP Poznań gained the ability to produce the programmes outside the studio. It was related to the fact that the first experimental broadcast van made in Poland came into use. In the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s, using the knowledge and experience of professionals working in the station, TVP Poznań produced programmes known throughout the country.
