Antena HD is a Polish free-to-air television channel owned by MWE Networks, aimed primarily at people over 50 years of age, Primarily National Coverage. [1] (since 2022, the station has also been broadcasting productions aimed at younger viewers, such as series purchased from the ATM Rozrywka archive[2]).
The station won the competition announced by the National Broadcasting Council for a place in the first multiplex of digital terrestrial television after the ATM Rozrywka channel.[3] The channel was initially supposed to be called Silver TV, but a few months earlier Beata Borucka launched an internet television of the same name – the branding of Michał Winnicki's station was therefore changed.[4]
On April 23, 2021, a test broadcast on digital terrestrial television began. The station appeared under the temporary name Silver TV and broadcast the signal of the Power TV channel (also owned by MWE Networks) in HD quality.[5] The official launch of the channel (with the Antena HD logo, regardless of the broadcast standard[6]) took place on May 1, 2021, at 6:00 AM with the broadcast of Jutrznia.[7] The National Broadcasting Council granted a broadcasting license under the original name of the channel,[8] which is why digital terrestrial television receivers identified it as SILVER TV; this name also appeared on the screen next to the age designation. On December 10, 2021, the National Broadcasting Council issued a decision in which it allowed the official name of the station to be changed to Antena HD;[9][10] in mid-December, the additional on-screen designation (SILVER TV) disappeared.
