HISTORY OF TELEVISION BROADCASTING IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
WORLD TELEVISION DAY
In 1996, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed November 21 as World Television Day, “in recognition of the increasing impact television has on decision-making by alerting world attention to conflicts and threats to peace and security and its potential role in sharpening the focus on other major issues, including economic and social issues.”
The promotion of The World TV Day is done by raising awareness in the international press and the creation of a video clip highlighting the theme of the year – which is broadcast widely across Europe and beyond, often adapted to each market with local programmes. Last years themes were for example:
2024: TV IS AN EFFECTIVE AND STRONG MEDIATYPE
2023: TV TARGETS MILIONS OF PEOPLE
2022: ATTENTION
INTERVIEWS
The proposal to increase the collection of Czech TV licence fees is facing opposition from private broadcasters.
Being empathetic towards viewers requires empathy within the company, says Matej Šemšej, HR Director at TV Nova.
CCO Vladimír Pořízek explains that increasing the price of TV advertising is the only way Media Club can counter this situation.
Josef Uher talks about trends in the development of television broadcasting and unfulfilled expectations with Ultra HD.
PARTNERS AND COOPERATION
AKTV participated in the Cultural and Creative Industries Mapping project on behalf of the TV and Radio sector from February 2024 to May 2025. The aim of the project was to identify the economic contribution of this sector in the Czech Republic. The project was funded by a grant from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
The ScreenVoice brand was created in 2021 in response to the dynamic evolution of the TV world, total video, marketing and advertising. The aim is to shield the activities of the Association of Commercial Television (AKTV) towards professionals working in advertising, media and marketing, as well as the public interested in media and marketing.
