ČT and ČRo will strike on November 3rd. The public across the country will join the protests.
Employees of Czech Television and Czech Radio have announced a full-day strike on November 3, supported by protests across the country. The strike follows a proposal from the government coalition to abolish broadcasting fees, which has raised concerns about the financial independence of public media. The initiative demands the withdrawal of this proposal and calls for a transparent discussion about future funding models. The strike will significantly affect live broadcasts and programming, with many shows being altered or canceled. In Prague, a gathering will take place at Wenceslas Square, accompanied by student marches and support from various cultural institutions. The police have warned of traffic disruptions due to the protests.
