Czech Television and Czech Radio have not yet reached an agreement with the government coalition on changing the funding of public-service media. Culture Minister Oto Klempíř is due to present a bill to the government on Monday that would abolish television and radio licence fees, but after the negotiations, no figure was known for the amount the media would receive from the state budget. irozhlas.cz ↗
Czech Radio's Director General René Zavoral admitted that reaching an agreement with the coalition is proving difficult. Czech Television and Czech Radio are also demanding a safeguard that would make it harder for politicians to interfere with their budgets, but the culture minister is rejecting it. According to a survey by the ResSOLUTION agency, nearly half of people in the Czech Republic perceive the proposal as a threat to the independence of both institutions. denikn.cz ↗
Following last year's amendment to the law, Czech Television gained more than 190,000 households and nearly 20,000 companies paying the television licence fee. Next year it expects revenue of around seven billion crowns, which management describes as the biggest change in revenue in 17 years. Because of the planned funding changes, Czech Television employees are still preparing a warning strike for June 22, and management will not stand in the way of the protest. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
A retrospective audit of public-service media finances by the Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ) will not take place, as the Constitutional and Legal Committee rejected Tomio Okamura's proposal. Also in reserve is a parliamentary bill that, according to available information, does not envisage a blanket abolition of fees for everyone. Separately, Czech Television's dispute with Václav Moravec continues, with the broadcaster imposing a contractual penalty on him following the launch of the Moravec.cz project. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
In the Prachatice region, a separate matter remains the town of Vimperk's plan to renovate the dilapidated Steinbrener printworks and transform it into a cultural and community centre. novinky.cz ↗
