  • Czech Republic Represents 21,3 %
    Questionnaire - Revision of the Communication from the Commission on the application of State aid rules to public service broadcasting 1. GENERAL 1.1. A number of significant legal developments have taken place in the public broadcasting area since 2001, namely the adoption of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the adoption of the Decision and Framework on compensation payments as well as Commission decision-making practice. Do you think that the Broadcasting Communication should be up-dated in light of these developments? Alternatively, do you consider that these developments do not justify the adoption of a new text? There is no need for revision or change of the Communication at the moment. The Communication on the application of State aid rules to public service broadcasting (OJ 2001/C 320/4) lays down flexible principles which have made it possible to resolve a number of cases by taking due account of the specificity of the public service broadcasting sector. The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (OJ 2007/C 332/27) takes into account the emergence of new media and recalls the importance of the coexistence of public and private providers of audiovisual media services and the firm need for the public service broadcasting remit to continue to benefit from technological progress (Recital 9). Public service broadcasters consider that there is no particular pressing need to revise the current Communication. Any updating which may take place needs to ensure stability for public service broadcasters while maintaining the flexibility of the current system, a system which makes it possible to offer legal solutions to organizations of various sizes and operating on various markets which have a remit to offer public service output responding to the needs and choices of their respective societies.

  • 130213 Press Release Czech Radio´S Statement Regarding An
    Press Release Prague, February 13, 2013 Czech Radio’s statement regarding an application from BBC Radiocom (Praha) On 17 December 2012, BBC Radiocom (Praha) s.r.o., licenced to operate the BBC station in the Czech Republic, applied to the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting (CRTB) for prior approval of the transfer of a 100% stake from the British public service BBC station to Lagardere Active ČR, a.s. The management of Czech Radio would like to express considerable concern regarding the application submitted by BBC Radiocom (Praha) s.r.o., which would result in a commercial entity taking control of two public service radio stations. Czech Radio hopes that this plan will not be implemented. Czech Radio does not agree with the change in ownership of the BBC station from the British public service BBC to the French media group Lagardere that provides, among others, commercial radio broadcasting in the Czech Republic. Czech Radio also does not agree with the potential change in the valid licence terms and conditions according to which the BBC station has to present the BBC World Service programmes in English (news, reports, education and sports) and programmes supplied by Czech Radio. Czech Radio states that it is ready to continue the cooperation with the BBC and broadcast its programme under the existing licence terms and conditions. For the above-mentioned reasons, Czech Radio submitted a motion to the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting demanding that the CRTB acknowledge Czech Radio as a party to the proceedings and, at the same time, asking CRTB not to approve the transfer of the share in the operator’s company from BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION to Lagardere Active ČR .

In the fall of 1943, the 25-year-old Leonard Bernstein became an overnight sensation when he replaced an ailing Bruno Walter and led a nationally-broadcast concert by the New York Philharmonic. At exactly the same moment, choreographer Jerome Robbins approached Bernstein and proposed that he write a ballet about three sailors on leave in New York City. This became Fancy Free, Bernstein’s first ballet, and it was premiered at the Metropolitan Opera on April 18, 1944. That summer, Bernstein’s friend, the lyricist Adolph Green, suggested to the young composer that the situation of the ballet – three sailors on leave in New York City – could be made into a musical. Bernstein quickly composed the music, and On the Town opened on Broadway in December 1944 and ran for 463 performances.
