Czech TV crisis

edit
Main article: Czech TV crisis

A television crisis occurred between 2000 and 2001 as a battle for control of Czech Television, which included jamming and accusations of censorship. During the Czech TV crisis, Czech Television reporters organized an industrial dispute by staging a sit-in and occupying the news studio, and rejected attempts by Jana Bobošíková, the newly-appointed head of the news department, to fire them. They were supported in their protest by politicians such as then-president Václav Havel and Czech celebrities. However, every-time they tried to air their news broadcasts, Jana Bobošíková and Jiří Hodač would jam the transmission either with a "technical fault" screen reading: "An unauthorized signal has entered this transmitter. Broadcasting will resume in a few minutes." or with their own news broadcasts featuring Bobošíková and a team she had hired to "replace" the staff members she had sought to terminate. The Czech TV crisis eventually ended in early 2001 following the departure of Hodač and Bobošíková from Czech Television, under pressure by the street demonstration participants and at the request of the Czech Parliament, which had held an emergency session due to the crisis.
