Subscribing to RTV is one frequently avoided fee and little has changed on the matter for years. Interestingly, however, in recent months, controls have been visibly relaxed. In the first half of 2023, the number of people suffering from this problem was definitely lower compared to the previous year.
RTV Subscription It’s one of those topics that have been arousing great passions for years. Although in the opinion of many it is a relic of the past and we have heard several times about plans to replace it with fees adapted to our times, nothing changes (except for the price increase). It is also no secret that many Poles who are required to pay an RTV license evade it. Despite announcements of battles against such a measure, it has been shown that controls have loosened.

It was launched in the first half of 2023 Less than 6 thousand enforcement actions Regarding the unpaid RTV subscription, such as Wirtualnemedia.pl found out. For comparison, in the same period last year, there were approximately 25.5 thousand lawsuits of this kind, more than four times as many. And inspections, which most often form the basis for the initiation of enforcement proceedings, are also carried out mainly in companies, and not in private persons.

On the other hand, the awareness of citizens is increasing. It is worth noting that, according to applicable law, no postman can check the obligation to register the recipients.

Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
