On air, repeats and music. 24-hour strike in Czech media

Most employees of public media have joined the strike, leading to a reduction in programming. While radio and television continue broadcasting, they are airing repeats and music shows, with fewer news programs. Authorities assure that essential information will be provided during emergencies. Protesters are concerned about proposed funding changes that could threaten media independence and reduce budgets by 20%. Critics demand the withdrawal of a government bill that has already passed its first reading. A demonstration is planned to coincide with a controversial late-night vote on the bill, with students from various universities participating.
