Advertisers Withdraw from TV Republika Amid Legal Dispute with WOŚP
A legal and media battle between TV Republika and the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) has escalated, leading advertisers such as Lidl and Oleofarm to suspend their ads on the conservative news channel. The conflict began when TV Republika accused WOŚP leader Jerzy Owsiak of unfair competition, a claim the foundation dismisses as baseless.
Owsiak criticized companies advertising on TV Republika, citing the station's hostile coverage of WOŚP. Meanwhile, the station is demanding an apology, alleging that Owsiak's statements have led to financial losses and threats against him. With tensions rising, the standoff continues to impact media partnerships and corporate sponsorships.
