Increase in fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio will not happen this year

The lower house will not be able to push through an increase in fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio this year, Marek Benda, chair of the ODS parliamentary club, told news server iDNES.cz on Thursday evening. He expects approval in the first quarter of next year. The amendment to the laws on public television and radio aims to increase the fee for public television by CZK 15 to CZK 150 per month and for radio by CZK 10 to CZK 55 per month starting in January.
