The Internet Comes to Television! Stargaze — the TV Channel for Online Creators — Is Now Available on Play!

​Stargaze, a brand-new television channel featuring content from Poland’s most popular YouTubers and influencers, has just joined Play’s TV offering - making it the first of its kind in Poland. Stargaze offers an entirely new way to watch and discover online creators - this time on the big screen.
​

The lineup includes podcasts, vlogs, talk shows, and entertainment formats from top Polish creators such as Nie wiem, ale się dowiem, Papiery Rozwodowe (Z DVPY & MishOn), Bracia Malczyńscy, 5 Sposobów Na, Rafał Masny, Człowiek Absurdalny, Tymków, ORB News, GraPodPada, Sprytne Babki, Patryk Strzała, Władek BeautyBoy, and many others — including shows created in collaboration with media partners like XYZ, Iberion Group, and Świat Gwiazd.

Everyone will find something for themselves - discovering shows that, until now, have lived exclusively online but are now available on television.

​“Stargaze TV is more than just another channel - it’s an invitation for online creators to enter the world of television,” says Łukasz Wysocki, VP Partnerships EMEA & Country Lead Poland at Tivio Studio.
​“Our partnership with Play allows us to reach a new audience and show that content created online has a rightful place on TV. To me, it’s a symbol of how much the media landscape is changing - television and the internet are no longer competing; they’re starting to collaborate.”

A New Generation of TV Viewers

The launch of Stargaze in Poland reflects a global trend. According to Nielsen’s The Gauge Poland, the share of streaming content in total TV screen time in Poland surpassed the symbolic 10% mark in 2025, up from around 6% just two years earlier (Source: Nielsen The Gauge Poland, 2023–2025).

This shows that Poles are increasingly combining traditional TV viewing with online content — and the video market in Poland is clearly moving toward the integration of both world. Younger audiences are turning to formats similar to those they already know from the internet — making Stargaze a bridge between the online world and television.

​“Stargaze shows how television can evolve and meet the expectations of a new generation of viewers,” says Artur Dominiak, Director of Home Services at Play.
​“We’re proud that Play is the first operator in Poland to offer a channel that connects the worlds of internet and television, showcasing the creators that Poles already know and love from the web.”

Now Available to Play Subscribers

The channel is already available to Play TV subscribers:

Beyond its linear TV channel, Stargaze offers a complete ecosystem for creators and viewers — including a VOD platform, subscriptions, live streaming, and pay-per-view. This gives viewers freedom from algorithms and creators new revenue opportunities and greater independence.

Redefining the Future of Media

Stargaze is part of a global trend that blends television and the internet. It’s the first platform and TV channel in Poland dedicated entirely to online creators — bringing lifestyle, entertainment, gaming, and educational formats from Poland’s top YouTubers, influencers, and digital publishers straight to traditional TV screens.
