The lower one (on the ground floor) serves as editorial office of TVN24 Biznes i Świat, sometimes it also serves as a reserve or weekend studio of TVN24. The building also houses all weather services provided by TVN Meteo, as well as some programs provided by other channels of the TVN Group, including the TVN Turbo Report. In the immediate vicinity of the MBC, there are buildings erected by the ITI Group companies prior to the construction of the office building, including the first headquarters of TVN at Augustówka Street.
