Radio and TV Council charged with discriminating against Radio Maryja

The National Radio and Television Council (KRRiTV) has been discriminating against conservative Radio Maryja in favor of Radio Zet and RMF FM, said the Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK). The investigation was conducted at the request of Sejm. In at least five cases Radio Maryja has been refused a new frequency for unexplainable reasons. By way of compensation, KRRiTV granted 41 new frequencies to Radio Maryja. The station will soon cover about 80% of the country and increase that coverage to 92%. (Rzeczpospolita, page A6)
