KRRiT annuls PLN 1.5 mln fine for TVN

The National Broadcasting Council KRRiT has canceled a PLN 1.48 million fine on private broadcaster TVN for “encouraging behavior which threatens public safety.” “After getting acquainted with the positions of the social side and additional analyses and arguments presented by the interested party the President of the National Broadcasting Council decided to repeal the decision,” the regulator said in a press statement. The fine for the network, which is owned by the US broadcaster Discovery Communications, sparked a number of international protests, including the US State Department condemning the fine.
