Sygut's Experience
As of June 2019, he served as a board associate at the Municipal Bus Facilities company, where he was liable for the marketing department. He previously served as editor-in-chief of the fresh tv station for almost 3 years, which began broadcasting in autumn 2016 on the eighth digital terrestrial tv multiplex. Sygut was liable for information and publicity programs, including “24 hours”. The broadcaster decided to end the broadcast of this program at the end of November 2018, explaining this with an unsatisfactory scope of MUX-8. As a result, the full squad forming the program left the station.
From February 2011 until the end of 2015, Sygut was associated with Polish Television. He held various functions there, ranging from the vice manager of TVP Info by the programming secretary of TVP Polonia to the head of TVP Info in 2013. In August 2015, he became manager of the tv Information Agency. He left TVP with respective another directors just before establishing a fresh board of directors, headed by Jacek Kurski.
It should besides be mentioned that before joining TVP Sygut worked for “Review” and “Super Express”.

Co-workers' opinions
Sygut's erstwhile associates were asked by the media about his management style. Kamil Dziubka, writer of Onetu, expressed his affirmative surprise at Sygut's choice as president of TVP, describing him as a actual professional and writer with a passion for the profession.
Journalist Kamil Dziubka gave the Virtual Media portal the following statement:
Tomek Sygut is simply a blood and bone journalist, a professional who believes in our profession. It's about showing people the planet what it truly is. I was very positively amazed erstwhile it turned out that he was the 1 to lead TVP. An highly hard task ahead of him, but I know he brought together a squad of large people I've known for many years and worked with. I believe in them and I believe in Tomk, who, too everything else, is besides just a cool guy and a good boss.

Przemysław Szubartowicz, who was active with TVP from 2008 to 2016, expressed his appreciation for the fresh president of TVP. Szubartowicz and Sygut met many years ago erstwhile they worked together in the weekly “Review” and later on on TVP. He describes Sygut as an industrious, loyal leader who can build a squad and manage people.
Szubartovich does not envy Sigut's fresh role, considering it will be a hard task. Sygut will should be able to cut himself off from politics, even though politics in this word will surely not be cut off from TVP. The writer predicts that the PiS will proceed to attack, creating a fresh founding myth. He supposes that in 2 years' time a fresh media bill will be adopted, which will make conditions for the improvement of public media. This can happen if the PiS candidate does not win in the presidential election. Szubartowicz, however, is convinced that Sygut, who likes challenges, can handle these difficulties.
An accident with Komorowski and not only
In Sygut’s career, however, respective darker résumés can be encountered. The “Press” portal late recalled that Sygut was to negatively affect the image of erstwhile president Bronisław Komorowski before the 2015 election. As erstwhile TVP employees mention, Sygut introduced an innovative thought to broadcast all Komorowski meetings live. Although the plans were ambitious, unfortunately live broadcasts are governed by their laws. due to specified actions, no Komorowski accident has escaped public opinion.
In his material, writer Jan Piński believes that it was during the reign of Sygut in TVP Info PiS that he was allowed to do these media. Piński cites the data presented by Janusz Piechociński, from which it is expected that January 2014 of all parties present on the PiS channel gained the same amount of air time as the PO.
According to Piński at the time, TVP Info did not show how much danger Jarosław Kaczyński's organization posed. At the same time, the writer refers to the aforementioned episodes in which TVP Info showed Komorowski's failures, resulting in him losing the election. Thesis of Pinski is that Sygut in a sense constitutes a Trojan horse in the ranks of TVP.
