As part of the audit, the Supreme Audit Office showed that from May 2021 to May 2023, the organizational structures of TVP (programming office, TVP Polonia and the culture and history center) spent PLN 1.31 million on productions that were not broadcast. According to them, there are a total of 24 programs that were both produced on behalf of TVP and purchased as a license. However, it is not indicated whether these are films, series or other television formats.
TVP spent a million on productions that were not shown. She gave reasons, but the Supreme Audit Office is not impressed
The portal also included explanations from the head of the TVP programming office, who told the inspectors that one of the films shot for Telewizja Polska (the report kept the titles confidential) was not shown due to the “drastic tone and the resulting lack of compliance with the public television program line.” “. In turn, another production did not meet the technical conditions (“poor quality of the film copy, combined with the inability to reconstruct it”).
She also highlighted other reasons that apply to other productions that were not shown on television. This concerns the legal situation of the participant; content being outdated and unable to be broadcast in prime time; problems with obtaining rights and settling accounts with the director; implementation of the project by another; the already liquidated unit on TVP; failure to meet the adopted substantive assumptions or the archival nature of the program. However, NIK was most outraged by the fact that the indicated titles were not included in the issue reserve.
It should be emphasized that the lack of inclusion in the program reserves of programs currently characterized as outdated was an unreliable and wasteful action – says the Supreme Audit Office.
The report also suggested that this type of content should be kept in the archive because “it may contribute to content broadcast on documentary bands.” – The element of mismanagement also concerns the lack of search for the possibility of broadcasting a given program as part of the activities of another entity and the categorical resignation from broadcasting the program, as well as the lack of appropriately efficient use of the purchased material in cases where its content may indicate the risk of rapid obsolescence – it was explained.
