Czech Television to cut 12% of its workforce by 2030, says director

Česká televize plans to reduce its staff by 12% over the next decade, according to director Hynek Chudárek.

The public broadcaster, which currently employs around 2,900 people, will gradually dismiss 12 percent of its workforce between now and 2030. The move follows a long-term plan approved by the channel’s board and is presented as a cost-saving measure. Chudárek said the reductions will help build a reserve and prepare the organisation for possible funding instability. Savings will affect programme production, operational expenses and the timing of new investments.

Why it matters

The layoffs will reshape the Czech public broadcaster’s workforce and affect its ability to deliver programming amid funding challenges.
