TVP3 Szczecin is one of the regional branches of the TVP, Poland's public television broadcaster. It is based in the city of Szczecin and serves the entire West Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Telewizja Szczecin was launched in 1960 after a four-year period of television experiments in the region, and in 1965 it was connected to the national TVP network, serving largely as its regional opt-out. In 1992, it relaunched as a standalone channel named Kanał 7, and shifted its focus to Latin American telenovelas and Western documentary programmes, in addition to its own productions. That same year, TVP created its own opt-out channel for the region named TV Szczecin. In 2002–03, TVP3 Szczecin was launched on the former Kanał 7 frequencies as part of the regional TVP3 network.
