Mastercard withdraws ads from Telewizja Republika

Mastercard clarified it has no direct advertising contract with Telewizja Republika, as ads were part of a broader package. Other companies, like Carlsberg and InPost, also advertise on the channel, citing similar purchasing methods. RTV Euro AGD has suspended its ads due to concerns over the station's reporting on a recent shooting in Krakow, prompting the station to call for a boycott. Controversy arose from Tomasz Sakiewicz's comments during the incident's coverage, leading to scrutiny from the National Broadcasting Council and complaints from police unions.
