Alfa TVP is a Polish free-to-air television channel offered by Telewizja Polska. The programming is aimed at youth aged 10-16.

History

Initially, the channel was to be named TVP Teen[1] (later TeenTV)[2]). The name Alfa TVP was ultimately selected, referencing the Generation Alpha cohort,[3] which was born after 2010.

The channel's target audience is viewers between the ages of 10 and 16,[4] a little older than the demographic catered by TVP ABC. It started broadcasts on December 20, 2022.[2] Its launch schedule included mainly animated and live-action series for children and teenagers and science programs taken from TVP's archives.[5][6] The first program on air was the British series Almost Never.[7]

Its first original production was Tylko nie piątek!, a teen sitcom directed by Tomasz Szafrański.[8]

Availability

In its early months, the channel was exclusively online,[9] on the TVP Stream and TVP GO platforms.[5] In January 2023, it started broadcasting on digital terrestrial television (on MUX 6),[9] and in May on local cable operators (about 80).[10] On June 1, 2023, it offered its content on TVP VOD.[11] In March 2024, the channel became available on the larger platforms (such as Canal+ and Orange TV).
