to suspend the concession procedure for ''TVN Sportive''. However, the broadcaster did not resign from the project, but it was decided to transform the weather channel into a lifestyle and sports channel under the name ''TVN Meteo Active''. The decision was explained by the partial exhaustion of the channel's formula and falling viewing figures. On 16 April 2015, the station underwent a rebranding and changed its name to ''TVN Meteo Active'' and received a new logo. The station combined earlier broadcast weather services with new programmes such as sports, healthy lifestyle and eating, fitness and leisure activities. However, weather forecasts were mainly issued during the night hours. The ''TVN Meteo'' brand as a separate project was not abandoned. A separate portal ''TVNmeteo.pl'' with current weather forecast, weather information and social networking sites remained online. In 2016, TVN announced the rebranding of ''TVN Meteo Active'', which on 7 January 2017 was transformed into ''HGTV'', a channel dedicated to
