According to the website virtualmedia.pl, the Supreme Audit Office’s audit revealed irregularities in the work of TVP. The then director of the programming office, Krystian Kuczkowski (fired in January this year), approved the conditions for acquiring a license to broadcast the National Dance Concert and the French Touch gala, before the entertainment editorial office submitted the appropriate application for market recognition. Thus, the regulation, which has been in force since 2015, was broken by a few days.
Procedure is one thing, costs are another. Director’s translation
What is the correct procedure for acquiring rights? The program office begins preliminary market research in order to determine, in particular, the availability date, the license period and the first price proposal – after receiving the request for market research. However, the department director warned them and made the decision himself.
The violation of procedures mentioned by the Supreme Audit Office in its report concerned deadlines, not amounts. This is very important and worth mentioning. We may not have been able to follow the internal procedure regarding deadlines, but we managed to save millions of zlotys.

“Change on the contractor’s side”. Instead of producing, a broadcast was acquired
Kuczkowski explains his decision by a number of changes that occurred while planning the broadcast of “Dancing National”. He emphasizes that “no application for market research was submitted earlier because it was originally planned that Telewizje Polska – as with previous editions – would produce the concert broadcast.” However, along the way, there was a change on the part of the contractor and the Polish Television itself, which, instead of organizing the event, could acquire the rights to the ready-made television broadcast.
The situation was similar with the French Touch gala. The broadcast was initially planned as an internal production, carried out by the Agency of Creation, Entertainment and Setting. During discussions with the contractor, it was determined that its production exceeded the budget assumed by the contractor. The option of purchasing a ready-made product turned out to be cheaper.
NIK noted in its report that the purchase of rights to broadcast both events without a prior application for market research was unfair and violated the rules related to the instructions for purchasing licenses in force at TVP. The matter will develop.
The largest dance music festival. At the other extreme, “something sophisticated”
Dancing PGE Narodowy is the largest dance music festival in Poland. In 2022, the stadium featured, among others: Zenek Martyniuk, Boys and Weekend. French Touch is a gala dedicated to celebrating Polish-French friendship, addressed to viewers with “more refined taste”. During last year’s edition, Sylwia Grzeszczak, In-Grid, Sara James and Kabaret Paradis Latin performed.
