Before starting they transmitted to TVP some simple shapes. After that during the broadcast of Polish news "Dziennik" they transmitted the message "Dość podwyżek cen, kłamstw i represji. Solidarność Toruń" ("Enough price increases, lies, and repressions. Solidarity Toruń") with the Solidarity logo. After they repeated it during the episode of the Polish soap opera "07 zgłoś się", but another message that was written as "Bojkot wyborów naszym obowiązkiem. Solidarność Toruń" ("It is our duty to boycott the election. Solidarity Toruń").[1]
