ComCom Issues Formula with a Warning for Receiving Indirect Funding from National Movement
The Communications Commission has issued a written warning to Formula for receiving indirect funding from a political party. Monitoring carried out by the Commission found that in August 2025 the broadcaster received GEL 451,000 from Formula Multimedia, which in turn had received GEL 540,000 from the political association Unity – National Movement. It was also established that during the same period Formula Multimedia had not received any other funding; therefore, the funds received by Formula constituted indirect financing from the political association Unity – National Movement.
Under Article 66¹(1) of the Law of Georgia on Broadcasting, it is prohibited for a political party to finance a broadcaster, as well as to purchase its services or to directly or indirectly finance or co-finance the production or broadcasting of programmes, except in cases outlined in the same law.
Due to the fact that Formula had not been sanctioned for a similar violation within the past year, the Communications Commission issued the broadcaster with a written warning.
