TVN Med
TVN Med was a Polish television channel owned by TVN, the television arm of the ITI Group. It was the only TV channel in Poland with access restricted to just one professional group - namely physicians. It was available on-line and via the n digital platform, but to receive a password allowing to watch it, one had to present a valid medical licence.
All Polish doctors could watch the channel free-of-charge, however starting from October 2007, if they wished to receive it via satellite, they had to acquire the "n" set on general terms. The channel officially closed on January 1st, 2009. It was the only Polish channel allowed to air commercials for prescription drugs, which were its main source of funding. Programming included mostly educational shows for doctors. Poland's Supreme Medical Council accepted watching the channel as part of compulsory training for all doctors.
