The article focuses on a potential change in the broadcasting rights for international ski jumping competitions. According to Jakub Kwiatkowski in an interview with WP Sportowe Fakty, TVP is expected to participate in the upcoming tender to secure rights to the Ski Jumping World Cup.

Since the 2021/22 season, the competitions have been broadcast on TVN and Eurosport, with Discovery opting not to sublicense the rights. Consequently, TVP has only been airing events held in Poland. Kwiatkowski expressed a clear intent that TVP will make every effort to win the tender once the current contract expires at the end of the 2025/26 season.

The article also mentions that the possibility of a sale of TVN by Warner Bros. Discovery might affect the current sublicensing arrangement, potentially allowing TVP to reclaim a larger share of the broadcasts for ski jumping events. This development could mark a significant shift in how the World Cup competitions are presented to viewers in Poland.
