Tomasz Sakiewicz, the president of TV Republika, has taken to social media to address a controversial court decision made by the Voivodeship Administrative Court, which annulled the concession for broadcasting on the MUX-8 multiplex, a ruling that also affects TV Republika’s license. In his statement, Sakiewicz highlighted the significant financial implications of this ruling and reiterated the station's commitment to following the legal process surrounding their concession. He emphasized the necessity for clarity on how costs incurred by the broadcaster in fulfilling the obligations of the concession would be settled if the court's decision is upheld by a higher court.

Furthermore, Sakiewicz has formally appealed to the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT), requesting detailed information regarding the potential reimbursement of expenses that the broadcaster has incurred in connection with the use of transmission infrastructure, promotional activities, and training essential to meet concession obligations. His appeal underscores the significant investments made by the broadcaster that may now be jeopardized due to an unfavorable judicial ruling.

This development raises concerns not only about the immediate financial viability of TV Republika but also about the broader media landscape in Poland, particularly regarding the stability of broadcast licenses and the implications of judicial oversight in media operations. The outcome of this legal battle may set a precedent for other broadcasters and influence the attractiveness of the Polish broadcasting market for potential new entrants or existing players looking to expand their services.
