Czech TV crisis
The Czech TV crisis was an event in the Czech Republic that occurred from the end of 2000 until February 2001 as a battle for control of the airwaves, which included broadcast jamming and accusations of censorship. On 24 December 2000, news programs on Czech Television were interrupted by Jana Bobošíková, a veteran presenter at the channel and the newly-appointed head of the news department, sitting next to Jiří Hodač, a former BBC employee who had been appointed general manager of Czech Television earlier on 20 December.
