The Polish station TV Puls has undergone a change in its ownership structure, with Dariusz Dabski buying the 25% stake held until now by the Franciscan Brothers.
As a result, he is now the sole owner of TV Puls, which up until the end of 2008 was backed by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
Significantly, Dabski has also said that TV Puls has decided to suspend all negotiations with potential investors “as up until now we have not received a satisfactory offer”.
CME, which only last week acquired bTV in Bulgaria, has been strongly linked with TV Puls for a number of months.
Dabski added that TV Puls is now 100% focused on realising its current potential. Its future plans include the launch of a second channel and a possible listing on the Stock Exchange.
