ČT24 marks five years on air

The Czech Republic’s first rolling news channel ČT24 has been marking the fifth anniversary of its launch on May 2, 2005. The station, which is one of four run by public broadcaster Czech Television, offers news and current affairs programming around the clock. Around 2 percent of the country’s television viewers watch ČT24 every day, though its audience share can double when big news stories occur, such as the recent Polish air tragedy.
