She worked at TVP for over 20 years. Now Grażyna Bukowska is keeping her fingers crossed for the reconstruction of the institution

The legendary journalist left TVP in 2001, but viewers still remember her fondly. In recent years, she has spoken critically about public television, which she outright called party. Now, when the so-called the good change was over, she was asked again about the situation at TVP. Her answer is factual, but very careful.

Grażyna Bukowska has worked at Telewizja Polska for over 20 years. Although she initially did not associate her future with the media, at the age of 23 she auditioned for a TVP presenter. The 23-year-old was offered a job and quickly gained popularity among viewers. She hosted programs such as “Good Morning in the Circle of the Family” and “Closer to the World”, and then became the host of “Wiadomości” and “Questions for Breakfast”.

For years she was one of the stars of TVP. During the so-called good change directly said that it was party television

She left the public broadcaster in 2001. – I don’t want to name my boss at the time, but to put it mildly, we weren’t on the best of terms. The entire editorial office rebelled against his ideas. Most of us remembered the times of communism and we had the impression that history was coming full circle and it was coming back – she said later in an interview for .

Shortly after this situation, she returned to TVP, but to the entertainment program “Pytanie na śnidanie”. She created a very successful duet with Tadeusz Sznuk, but at some point they decided to quit working in the breakfast room. They rebelled when the management decided to extend the broadcasting hours of the morning show. Each of them had different professional obligations and could not afford to work at TVP for a longer period of time.

The legendary host appeared again on “PnŚ” in 2015 as a guest who recalled what it was like to work on a morning program in the past. After this speech, she remained silent about public television for a long time, but in 2021 she let us know what she thought about the management of Telewizja Polska at that time. – Polish Television ceased to be public television and became party television – said the journalist.

Grażyna Bukowska turns to the new team, but refrains from judging

Now the editors have asked her to speak again. Bukowska said that she had not been watching television for several years, but was following information about the situation on public television. – However, I keep my fingers crossed for all those who are now trying to change public television so that they can rebuild the independence and impartiality of TVP. – she said.

However, I do not want to talk about the current management. In her opinion, it is definitely too early to judge. – Since I have lived quite a long time, I am not prone to quick judgments. I decided that even the few months that have passed since the October elections are still too short to assess the current situation. Please call me next year! – she concluded.
