The program “Ruined Rebuilt” presented testimonies from men – husbands, fathers and sons, who experienced various situations of crisis and life difficulties. They told viewers about their transformations. The program was produced and hosted by Karol Gnat, and its creator was the head of the editorial team for TVP’s Catholic programs, Father Michał Legan.
The series, which has been broadcast since autumn 2023, remained on the spring schedule this year, despite the change in management at TVP, moving the broadcast time slot from Saturday to 11:50 a.m. to Wednesdays at 11:15 a.m. However, it will not be broadcast on public television in the fall. We learned unofficially that at the end of June the producer received an order for the entire season and was asked to submit documentation. A few days later, the producer was informed that the program will fall off the antenna. The reasons for this decision were not given.
– We have been patiently waiting for a change of decision for a month and a half. Hoping that we can prepare more extraordinary stories for our viewers. Even more the program was extremely popular and was in line with the policy adopted by the broadcaster. Create missionary programs that build an audience and are dedicated to a loyal group of viewers, which ended up being the viewers of our program. It is sad that the program was abandoned without giving any reasons – comments Karol Gnat in an interview with Wirtualnemedia.pl.
– However, we are not waiting passively, because we promised that we would see each other again in the fall… and I believe that we will keep our word – he adds. He does not reveal where and in what form the cycle might return.
Telewizja Polska did not respond to our questions about the disappearance of the program “Ruined Rebuilt” from the schedule.
