A Canadian radio station has cut its long-standing ties with one of Poland’s leading Catholic broadcasters over its antisemitism, in a move welcomed by Jewish groups.
Toronto AM station CJMR 1320 notified Polish broadcaster Radio Maryja of the immediate cancelation of their contract last week.
Matt Caine — vice president of CJMR 1320 — noted in a letter that the broadcaster had “failed” to respond adequately to detailed complaints from experts and advocacy groups about its portrayal of Jews and Judaism, and that its Canadian representative, Fr. Jacek Cydzik, had simply dismissed these as “inaccurate” without providing evidence of why.
“Therefore, despite our long business relationship, we believe that we have clear and overwhelming reasons to immediately cancel our contract,” Caine stated in the Dec. 11 letter.
B’nai Brith Canada — one of the Jewish groups that provided documented evidence of the antisemitic statements broadcast on Radio Maryja — said it was “extremely pleased” by the decision.
