TV Republika settles most license debt via KRRiT payment

Overview

TV Republika has made a payment of 2.05 million PLN to the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT), covering 1.63 million PLN for its license and approximately 412,700 PLN in interest. Despite this transfer, the station still owes roughly 200,000 PLN to the regulator, consisting of 150,600 PLN in remaining license fees and 38,000 PLN in interest.

KRRiT spokesperson Anna Ostrowska noted that license fees are treated as “quasi-tax public dues,” meaning the Tax Ordinance applies to these payments. The interest was calculated from the original deadline of September 1, 2024, through September 7, 2026.

In separate viewership data for August 2026, TVN24 took the top spot for news programs with 240,416 viewers, narrowly surpassing TV Republika, which ranked second with 225,768 viewers.
