Polish radio and TV presenter Andrzej Morozowski, who worked on TVN24 and hosted Polish show Tak Jest, has sadly d!ed at the age of 69 after a long battle with c@ncer. He was best known for his radio work, but also worked on television in the 1990s, hosting shows like Political Graffiti and Ring.
TVN24 announced yesterday (August 4): “After a long illness, Andrzej Morozowski d!ed on Tuesday at the age of 69.He used to say about interviews that the seemingly easiest conversations were the most difficult. He worked at TVN24 from the very beginning and for years was one of our most important journalists.”
The star had been absent from TVN24 for more than six months while battling c@ncer, but was able to return on a part-time basis after undergoing treatment.
Tributes have now flooded in for the broadcaster, with his former employer tweeting: “After a long illness, Andrzej Morozowski passed away on Tuesday at the age of 69. Farewell, friend.”
His co-star Tomasz Sianecki said: “In the mid-1990s, Andrzej was the first person to walk around the Sejm with a [mobile phone]. He walked around and was very proud. It’s no secret that this was how prestige was built.”
While Monika Olejnik, who also worked with Andrzej, said: “I was terribly jealous of him. One time I asked him to let me call the editorial office. Andrzej, who was very kind, said he couldn’t because president Andrzej Woyciechowski [founder of Radio Zet] would murder him for [letting her use the phone].”

Throughout his life, Andrzej came face to face with tragedy, especially when his son Jan was born “seriously ill”. He was in the Children’s Health Centre for four months, and Andrzej said he and his wife Agata Nowakowska were “shocked by the terrible conditions there”.
He said of the experience: “I think that since then we’ve known how much we can count on each other. Fortunately, everything ended well, and what remains is the knowledge that we can get through difficult times together.”
