WARSAW, July 21 (Reuters) - Poland s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party postponed a parliamentary debate over a new media law, a senior lawmaker said on Wednesday, amid a split with allies over amendments that could see U.S.-owned channel TVN lose its licence.
The proposed legislation would amend Poland s Broadcasting Act and prevent companies from outside the European Economic Area taking control of Polish radio and television stations.
The proposed changes have fuelled tensions between Poland and the United States and prompted fresh criticism from Polish opposition groups that the PiS is seeking to curb media freedom.
