Today we are publishing a special version of the website in connection with the "Media without a choice" campaign.

We apologize to our users / readers / viewers / internet users and business partners.

We appreciate your understanding and support.

Read our open letter:
An open letter
to the authorities of the Republic of Poland
and
leaders of political groups

We address the announced new, additional burden on the media operating on the Polish market, confusingly known as the "premium", introduced under the pretext of Covid-19.

It is simply tribute, striking the Polish viewer, listener, reader and internet user, as well as Polish productions, culture, entertainment, sport and the media.

Introducing it will mean:
weakening or even liquidating some of the media operating in Poland, which will significantly limit the society's ability to choose the content that interests them, limiting funding opportunities for qualitative and local content. Their production currently supports hundreds of thousands of employees and their families, and provides most Poles with access to information, entertainment and sports events largely free of charge, deepening the unequal treatment of entities operating on the Polish media market, in a situation where the state media receive PLN 2 billion from the pocket of each Pole every year, private media are charged with additional tribute of PLN 1 billion, actual favoring of companies that do not invest in creating Polish, local content at the expense of entities that invest the most in Poland. According to estimates, the companies referred to by the government as "global digital giants" will pay only about PLN 50 - 100 million for the tribute, compared to PLN 800 million that will be paid by other locally active media.

It is also scandalous that the individual companies are not balanced and selectively burdened. In addition, it is unacceptable in a state governed by the law to try to change the terms of the concession during their term.

As the media that has been operating in Poland for many years, we do not shirk our obligations and social responsibility. Every year, we pay an increasing number of taxes, levies and fees to the state budget (CIT, VAT, emission fees, copyright management organizations, concessions, frequencies, booking decisions, VOD fee, etc.). We also support the weakest groups in our society with our own charity work. We support Poles and the government in the fight against the epidemic, both in terms of information and by allocating resources worth hundreds of millions of zlotys for this purpose.

Therefore, we strongly oppose the use of the epidemic as an excuse to introduce another, new, exceptionally heavy burden on the media. A persistent workload that survives the Covid-19 epidemic.
