  • “I can’t believe it.” Belsat TV director announces huge cuts in channel’s budget

    Agniesz­ka Romaszews­ka-Guzy, Direc­tor of Bel­sat, stat­ed that the TV channel’s bud­get was reduced by almost 50%. She empha­sized that no insti­tu­tion could endure such a sig­nif­i­cant reduc­tion.

    “I can’t believe it,” wrote Agniesz­ka Romaszews­ka-Guzy on her Face­book page. “We received a nice present for Women’s Day – a de fac­to liq­ui­da­tion.”

    She explained that Bel­sat is main­ly fund­ed by the Pol­ish For­eign Min­istry. Last year’s bud­get was 74 mil­lion zlo­tys, with 63 mil­lion from the MFA and 11 mil­lion from TVP. This year, the Min­istry of For­eign Affairs will pro­vide 40 mil­lion, while TVP will not con­tribute due to a lack of funds.

    The direc­tor of Bel­sat believes that no insti­tu­tion, espe­cial­ly one that man­ages mon­ey very effi­cient­ly, can with­stand almost 50% bud­get cuts.
