Donald Tusk made the declaration at a news conference in Warsaw on Wednesday.
The prime minister said that "new regulations are required" to "fix" Poland's state media in a "concrete way."
Tusk added he was ready to enter talks with President Andrzej Duda and "everyone" on a new media law that would "give social and political forces equal access to state media."
The prime minister also stressed that his government's decision to replace the CEO's of state media on December 20 was "in accordance with the law."
Tusk added that the Cabinet "has the policy tools" to fund state media despite the president's recent veto to a government bill that foresaw PLN 3 billion (EUR 692 million) in funding for public broadcasters in 2024.
Duda said on December 21 that appointing the CEO's of state media was the prerogative of the National Media Council (RMN), and so the government's measures represented a "blatant breach of the constitution."
Tusk told reporters that after the eight-year reign of the previous conservative government, led by the Law and Justice (PiS) party, Poland state media "need restructuring," public broadcaster Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
Later in the day, Culture Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz announced he had put Poland's state media "in liquidation" to ensure that the companies "can continue to function, undergo the necessary restructuring and avoid having to dismiss staff," following the president's veto against an EUR 692 million grant to state media in 2024, according to officials.
The decision means that the government will appoint administrators to run the state TV broadcaster TVP, Polish Radio and Polish Press Agency PAP, Radio Zet reported.
