B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State

The Chairperson of the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) has demanded explanations from broadcasters which fail to meet the targets and has instructed them to adapt their programming to the requirements of the Act. If they continue to miss their targets, the Chairperson will take the action provided for by Polish law.

C) Further comments

TVN MED began broadcasting in the fourth quarter of 2006. The data therefore relate only to that quarter.

Hipika TV, a channel covered in the previous report, ceased broadcasting in 2006.

Local terrestrial channels (NTL Radomsko, Studio Lubań-Bolesławiec, Odra-Głogów, Legnica, Lubin, Odra-Świdnica, Wrocław, Opole, Odra-Jelenia Góra, Odra-Gorzów and Odra-Zielona Góra), which were covered in the previous report, are not covered in this one because they are operating under new concessions, are targeted exclusively at local audiences and do not form part of the national network (within the meaning of Article 9 of the Directive).
