Discovery executive vows fight to keep Polish media firm targeted by government

US-owned media giant Discovery will fight hard to keep control of a television network it owns in Poland, an executive has said, as the 3 billion dollar (£2.1 billion) investment comes under threat from a new bill passed in parliament this week.

If the bill passes into law, no entity from outside Europe would be allowed to own more than 49% of any media company.
