Polsat wins legal row with KRRiTV over its ownership structure

This verdict means that the TV channel can legally continue to air its programs despite the demands from the Radio and Television Council (KRRiTV) concerning the requirement to implement changes in the composition of the ownership structure in the company and modify the nature of its programs. "The head of the Council has granted herself the right to regulate the capital relationship within the company. There are no regulations which allow that," ruled Judge Małgorzata Grzelak, adding that it is the broadcaster who decides what kind of programs to air and is responsible for their content. KRRiTV members should also reconsider the price for prolonging the concession, for which they demanded zł.22 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7)
