Czech TV and Radio fee proposal not ready

The proposal to exempt people over 75 and companies from Czech TV (ČT) and Radio (ČRo) fees is not yet ready, and coalition MPs will not present it today. Vice-Chairman Patrik Nacher (ANO) emphasized that any revenue shortfall will not exceed the funding increase from the last amendment.

The fee exemptions, expected to take effect mid-year, were initially announced by Chamber Speaker Tomio Okamura (SPD). From next year, the coalition plans to fully reform the ČT and ČRo funding system and eliminate fees entirely.
