Superstacja's television launch slightly retarded

The station, which is positioned as a tabloid, has postponed its launch until autumn. "We received the concession in mid-July and from that time we have three months to begin running. But this does not mean that it is the final deadline. We can always turn to the Radio and Television Council to prolong this period," said Superstacja's program director, Dorota Grabińska. Ryszard Krajewski, the station's founder, plans to invest zł.18 million in the project within the next three years. "This will be a news station but completely different from TVN24, similarly as Fakt differs from Gazeta Wyborcza. We are fighting for a completely different audience, one that seeks, for example, gossip," added Grabińska. After failed negotiations with ITI and Polsat concerning their potential financial engagement in the project, company representatives claim they are successfully finalizing talks with a domestic investment fund.
