Radio Maryja on Verge of Bankruptcy?

Rydzyk Going Down?

“We have never had such a difficult economic situation before,” said Father Tadeusz Rydzyk yesterday on radio. Radio Maryja is having problems resulting from the economic crisis and the worsening economic situation of listeners, who used to support the station financially. “Please, help Radio Maryja, Telewizja Trwam (TV Trwam) and our other activities. There are increasingly more poor and unemployed people in Poland. We feel its effects. In order to help our radio and TV station (which are broadcast around the world) go on, a lot of money is needed. Imagine how much professional equipment, fees and transmissions cost… We are pleading with you to take our request seriously, help us immediately and regularly support our activities financially (for example, each month). We are addressing this request to our listeners in Poland and across the whole world: please say a prayer for us and support us financially”. Dominik Antonowicz, sociologist from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, said: “It sounds more like a cry for help. It perfectly matches the picture of Poland propagated in Radio Maryja: fallen to ruin, sold to foreigners and on the political, economic and moral decline. The gravity of the call can be a result of the radio’s temporary crisis. But Rydzyk does not mention one-time support, but monthly regularity of payments. One can assume that he expects an increase of costs in the following months, new investments or he is trying to make the most of crisis-related panic, especially in the US and Western Europe, to increase income”.
