Poland's ruling Civic Platform (PO) party is due to launch its own internet television channel on Thursday. This is despite technical problems meaning the station failed to work at a pre-launch press conference on Wednesday, Rzeczpospolita reported.

The channel will feature news updates from PO's campaign trail, general party information and interviews with PO politicians.

"In the absence of such a TV channel [in the past], we did all our voter relations live, but we figured the campaign was a good time to mobilize and roll this out," PO MP Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska told Rzeczpospolita.
