Václav Moravec ended his work at Czech Television, concluding the program Otázky Václava Moravce after twenty-one years. His decision became part of a broader trend, in which the television is being left by a number of well-known presenters including Nora Fridrichová, Marek Wollner and Barbora Kroužková. extra.cz ↗
The presenter spent long months considering leaving due to difficulties in protecting the program's independence. In the course of the discussion, he explained that it primarily concerns the view of where the conception of truth in the media is shifting. According to Moravec, successful journalism relies on facts and relevance, and as presenter he was unable to prevent the program from being reduced merely to a position of tick-box approval. irozhlas.cz ↗
The departure provoked varied reactions in the media community. Some figures criticize the discussion, while the public reaction to Moravec's decision surprised him with its support and understanding. However, media analyst Petr Žantovský expressed the opinion that the presenter had abused the broadcasting of public-service television. extra.cz ↗
Moravec is currently trying to resolve the situation surrounding the non-compete clause in his contract. Through lawyers, he is looking for a way for the television not to have to pay compensation amounting to six months' salaries. He himself stated that he does not want to be a burden for the station and does not want to give the public a reason to attack Czech Television. His effort reflects the complicated relations between the presenter and the management of the public-service media outlet. lidovky.cz ↗
