For the last eight years every Czech household has paid the equivalent of 54 US dollars per year to Czech Radio and TV. Now, that appears set to change: on Wednesday lawmakers agreed to dramatically raise Czech TV's licence fees to almost double over the next three years (while Czech Radio gets a slight increase). encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/televize_poplatky.jpg?timestamp=1591474266 https://english.radio.cz/public-broadcaster-czech-tv-lose-commercials-favour-higher-licence-fees-8630196 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
