According to the Polish state news agency PAP, the session heard from Tomasz Sygut, director general of public broadcaster TVP, and Paweł Majcher, editor-in-chief of Polish Radio.
Sygut said TVP received nearly one billion zlotys (about $270m) less in 2024 than the previous year but managed to cut operating costs by 565 million zlotys (around $153m). He added that restructuring had reduced the number of managerial positions and helped rebuild public trust, now “at its highest level in nine years.”
Majcher said he was most proud that reforms at Polish Radio had quickly ended what he described as “one-party dominance” on air, which he said had characterised programming for the previous eight years.
The changes, he added, were already visible during the 2025 presidential campaign, when all political forces with social support were given equal access to the station’s airtime - a level of pluralism he said had been lacking in the past.
However, Agnieszka Glapiak, head of the National Broadcasting Council, criticised what she called a “superficial restructuring,” noting that the broadcasters remain under liquidation procedures and accusing public television of biased election coverage.
