TVP's World Cup broadcast decision due this morning

President of Polish state television TVP, Robert Kwiatkowski, will by 9:30 this morning give an answer to his counterpart at private television station Polsat, Zygmunt Solorz, concerning an offer to jointly broadcast the upcoming football World Cup. A month ago Solorz told Kwiatkowski he would share the right to broadcast the World Cup if Polsat was in turn given the right to broadcast the European football championships. "Since the talks were very concrete and both sides left the meeting satisfied, there is some chance they will come to terms and the football broadcasts will be shared. I would like the championships to be decoded," said Jerzy Wenderlich from the Culture and Mass Media Commission (KKiSP), referring to Polsat's plans to broadcast the World Cup on a coded channel.
