Arts minister to produce outline plan for ending of license fees soon

The minister of culture, Oto Klempíř, says he will provide outline information within two weeks on government plans to end the license fee system of funding public broadcasters Czech Television and Czech Radio.

Mr. Klempíř said that the future model of financing the broadcasters had not been clarified within the governing coalition of ANO, Freedom and Direct Democracy and his own party, the Motorists.

Opposition politicians say it will not be possible for the government to push through the abolition of license fees by the start of next year.
