Big change in Polsata! Zygmunt Solorz was unexpectedly dismissed from his position as president. What happened to the media empire, and who's gonna take over from the legendary founder?
Kulisy of Solorz's appeal
On 22 July 2025, he brought a breakthrough in the history of Digital Polsat. TiVi Foundation decision – main shareholder controlling over 70% of the votes in the company, Zygmunt Solorz lost his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. This event surprised not only the market, but also employees and many industry observers.
At the same time, Andrzej Abramczuk, an experienced manager previously associated with Netia, was appointed president. Daniel Kaczorowski was the chairman of the supervisory board, lawyer and long-term group advisor. The changes also included other key companies within the Polsat empire.
Main reasons for the change in the position of President
Reports of conflict in the Solorz family were increasing. In the background of the decision to dismiss Zygmunt Solorz and personnel changes lies a long dispute with children regarding succession and control of the TiVi Foundation.
Family dispute and court intervention
- In recent months, Solorz has dismissed his children – Tobias and Peter from the supervisory boards of the group's companies, which has sparked a wave of protests.
- The court in Liechtenstein, where the TiVi Foundation is registered, established a curator and suspended part of Solorz's powers to appoint members of the authorities. It was the curator who was one of the main initiators of change..
- According to the foundation, the official goal of the roses is to "improve supervision and protect the assets" of the group.
What's next with the Polsat Plus empire?
Sigismund Solorz's appeal shows that even the best-built empire is not immune to family friction and formal – legal traps. The example of Polsat is an excellent lesson for both large family companies and investors – the succession should be thoughtful, and internal disputes can affect the stability of even powerful brands.

Market and investor reactions
Information about Solar's cancellation triggered an immediate reaction from investors. The Digital Polsat quotes have fallen markedly, which shows that the changes at the top raise uncertainty about the company's future. At such times, the experience of new managers and the way in which transformation takes place will be crucial.
What does this mean for viewers and customers?
Polsatu customers are unlikely to immediately feel changes in daily services. However, in the longer term, it is worth to observe what new directions of development the group will choose under the direction of Abramczuk and Kaczorowski. Will we see a new version of Polsat Plus, or will we rather see stability and protection of existing values?
The cancellation of Zygmunt Solorz, a legend of the Polish media market, is the beginning of a new era for Polsat. It also shows the importance of a clear policy of succession and preparation for unexpected returns in family business.
