Private investors set to save catholic mainstay Radio Plus from bankruptcy
The shareholders of Spolka Producencka Plus, consisting of local radio
stations from 28 dioceses, have announced that Radio Plus will continue to
operate rather than be declared bankrupt, as was feared. During the
meeting, in which Cardinal Jozef Glemp was present, all the shareholders
voted against filing the radio station for bankruptcy. By the end of
November, a special commission is to prepare the program of personnel and
financial restructuring in the radio station. According to Rzeczpospolita,
unofficial sources indicate that international investment fund Dresdner
Kleinwort Benson and Prokom Investments are willing to invest in the radio
station. Additionally the shareholders appointed priest Rafal Markowski as
Radio Plus president. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) A.Z.
