Although TV Republika was established in 2013, many people learned about the station’s existence only ten years later. The right-wing news channel is now experiencing a “second youth” since the TVP Info signal was turned off in its previous politicized version.
They received subsidies from the Minister of Culture Gliński. Now they ask for donations all the time
Although Sakiewicz’s station received generous subsidies from the government during the eight years of the United Right’s rule, now, when the viewership increased significantly, the station’s owners decided to ask their viewers for money for the operation of the channel anyway.
Catholic TV Trwam is known for similar moves, broadcast by the Lux Veritatis Foundation, which belongs to Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, which has faced debts in the past and has been supported for many years by viewers who donate money to its account.
In the last edition of “real Polish news”, a smiling Danuta Holecka thanked the station’s viewers for their trust and high viewership. Many expected that after these words, accurate data would appear on the screen, presented in charts with the results. However, this did not happen.
When the former head of the propaganda “Wiadomości” TVP ended her statement with the words: “We are always grateful for what we have already done. Thank you and we ask for more”, a board was shown with the number of a bank account to which payments can be made with the title: “Donation for free media.” .

Despite the fact that TV Republika’s results are still very high, the station has been systematically recording a decline in viewership. Although in February it was ranked seventh among all channels, the results are not as good as at the beginning of the year, when the average viewership was even over 300,000. viewers. In mid-February this number decreased to 160,000. viewers.
