Employees of ČT and ČRo will strike on November 3.

A public initiative involving Czech Television and Czech Radio workers has announced a strike for November 3, 2026, in response to the government's proposal to abolish broadcasting fees. The opposition claims this move threatens the independence of both media outlets, labeling it as a form of state control. The proposed government amendment would reduce funding for both media by approximately 15% compared to the previous year's budget after fee increases. The Journalists' Syndicate also opposes the coalition's approach, criticizing the expedited handling of such a significant societal issue as contrary to democratic principles of open discussion.
