Employees of Czech Television (ČT) and Czech Radio (ČRo) went on a warning strike on Monday. This is reflected in a minute delay of some programs on television and joint broadcasts on the radio before 8:00, 12:00 and 18:00. Employees of ČT and ČRo are striking because they disagree with the government's plans to change the financing of both public service media and cut their budgets.

A twenty-four-hour strike began after midnight on Czech Television (ČT) and Czech Radio (ČRo). The employees are thus protesting against the government's plan to abolish television and radio fees and to finance both public media from the state budget, which they say threatens their independence. The strike will be reflected throughout the day in the broadcasts of all stations, with the exception of the children's channels Déčko and Radio Junior.
