Hradec Králové town hall wants own internet television

The town hall of Hradec Králové wants to launch its own internet television station as soon as possible. Deputy mayor Martin Soukup told reporters on Wednesday that the aim was to improve the communication with young people and would be organised by a professional company at a cost of 630,000 crowns. The Social Democrats have lashed out at the idea, saying that their rival party, the Civic Democrats, who currently control the municipal government in Hradec Králové, want the channel merely for their own promotion ahead of elections.
