Wiadomości (Polish pronunciation: [vjadɔˈmɔɕt͡ɕi], lit. 'News') is a Polish daily television news program that was produced by public-service broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) and was broadcast on TVP1 from 18 November 1989 until 19 December 2023. The main edition was broadcast daily at 7:30 p.m. CET. It premiered on 18 November 1989 and replaced the Dziennik Telewizyjny (lit. 'Television Journal'), which was aired during the communist era for over 31 years and was considered to be one of the communist government's mouthpiece.
In September 2020, Wiadomości was the most popular news program in Poland, with an average of 2.66 million viewers a day.
In its final years, especially during the Law and Justice (PiS) government (2015–2023), the program (along with TVP's other news outlets) was accused of becoming a propaganda outlet for the ruling party. Following the formation of the coalition government on 13 December 2023, and subsequent management changes at TVP on 19 December, the main edition for 20 December was pre-empted, and was replaced by a short message from news presenter Marek Czyż about upcoming changes at TVP and an invitation to the next day's edition. The following day, it was announced that Wiadomości would be ending, and be replaced by a new daily bulletin, the title of which was revealed to be 19.30 later in that day.
