Polsat Ends ‘Interwencja’ After 21 Years
Polsat is ending its long-running investigative program *Interwencja*, which has aired for over two decades. The station confirmed the decision in a statement sent to the media outlet *Press*, citing that the program’s formula has “exhausted its potential.” The show, which first premiered on February 19, 2003, held the title of the longest-running program on the network.
For 21 years, *Interwencja* served as a fixture in Polish television, focusing on social issues and individual human stories. The program positioned itself as a “last resort” for citizens struggling with legal, property, or life-threatening disputes.
According to Michał Bebło, a long-time presenter who joined the program in 2008, the announcement came as a sudden shift for the production team. “I was very surprised, because the information was sudden, and I tied 18 years of my professional life to this editorial office,” Bebło stated in an interview with *Plejada*. He noted that the team’s work provided a tangible sense of purpose, helping people fight for dignity and justice.
Throughout its history, the program featured several notable hosts, including Paulina Młynarska, Maciej Dowbor, and Janusz Zadura. Milena Sławińska also served as a primary face of the show alongside Bebło.
