The National
Broadcasting Council

On January 10, 2024, the National Broadcasting Council adopted a resolution on postponing the implementation date of the schedule for transferring funds from the RTV subscription fee. The postponement of the payment date results from the state of legal chaos that has arisen in public radio and television broadcasting entities caused by the decisions of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage.

The KRRiT members emphasize that, given the situation of legal uncertainty, the adoption of the resolution was necessary and resulted from the care for the public interest. The resolution guarantees the protection of public funds from the RTV subscription fee against their illegal use by unauthorized persons.

At the same time, members of the National Broadcasting Council strongly oppose the allegations made by National Broadcasting Council member Tadeusz Kowalski that they are acting to the detriment of public media.

Tadeusz Kowalski's claim, quoted in the media, that the National Broadcasting Council limits the inflow of funds for public media is completely untrue. His suggestion that the National Broadcasting Council " increases the state of economic uncertainty in companies. And this is acting to their detriment " is unjustified.

Members of the National Broadcasting Council express their astonishment that one of the Council members discredits actions taken to protect public funds and the good of public media.
