TVP3 Białystok
television channel
TVP3 Białystok is one of the regional branches of TVP, Poland's public television broadcaster. It serves the entire Podlaskie Voivodeship in northeastern Poland.
History
In July 1996, a decision was taken by Telewizja Polska to create a regional station for Białystok. It joined the eleven existing regional stations, but at the time had no license and didn't air its own programming. On 1 September, Kazimierz Puciłowski was appointed as its first director, a position held until 31 August 1999.
The first television studio was built in January 1997. Initially it was located at St. Rocha Street, but that month alone, renovation work started for its current facilities at Włókiennicza Street, 16A, where its permanent facilities were going to be located. The facilities were in a former cash and carry; adapted for a television station. On 1 February 1997, Wojciech Worotyński was appointed vice-director of programming (until 31 December 1998).

Why this record matters

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2385658. Authority coordinates are 53.139, 23.157. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
